Max angle, like you I've always tried to treat everyone I come into contact with on a daily basis with respect. Everyone has an integral part to play within the big passenger-moving machine and generally take pride in performing it to the best of their ability. It is unfortunate that the impending action will put pressure on other employee groups, financially and emotionally, without any recourse for improvement in their own T's and C's.

My own reluctant vote for support is nevertheless a vote for support. The company have nothing but themselves to blame for engineering this situation and when it comes down to it I will back up the decision I've made with the necessary action if necessary.

Petty squabbles online get us nowhere, and if the positions were reversed then I would of course lend my support to their cause. Hopefully whilst the company are in the mood for talking they will extend this to ALL employees.
