Brassed off'
I cannot agree with you. Our dispute IS with OUR management. What they can negotiate from the oil companies is up to them and good luck to them! (we all want happy share holders don't we?) What our management must realise is that they have a very unhappy workforce, which will soon be no workforce unless they do something soon. I, like you, am now looking very actively elsewhere and will go unless they come up with the goods. Surely, we are not alone here.
However, I agree about the needless niggles and e-mail idents.
I should maybe qualify the workforce! Maybe they will still have a workforce but will it be of the right calibre/experience?
