Thanks to everyone for their advice.
Unfortunately, if we want to work we have to agree to the terms, although this thread has caused them to hide their actions and threaten everyone/anyone who talks to the media or the like with instant dismissal. The management appears to be ducking for cover and have even tried to have the post ceased.
We have had subtle warnings about contributing to any posts that has negative feedback for the company, especially during working hours. The 2IC has been a little more direct with his warnings about.
On the other subject in relation to the SAR contract, the rumors appear to be correct and that at the end of the contract we will only have beach patrols to keep us busy during the summers to come. It’s a pity because if it was managed properly it would have been a worth while contract.
Like everyone else that passes through these doors to work, I too shall move on when the opportune time arrives.
