1. Why should I not take the raise on offer?
Because the company has also shown in the past that when it is required it can sweeten a deal. Housing and DEFO pax/freight comes straight to mind.
2. What strategy (details please) do you have to 'force' CX to offer more?
We don’t have to do anything except vote no and sit on our hands. Even if age discrimination laws are introduced in Hong Kong it will have no effect on our contracted retirement age of 55. The company needs this more than we do and I will bet my left testicle they are prepared to come back with a better offer. This company is training constrained. Even if none of us were to resign before the age of 55 they still couldn’t undertake all the training that is required to drive the expansion.
