BBT are you actually pretending that you're impartial here?
There are no impartial posters on this thread. I am sticking up for your employer and your customer, you're saying sod your employer and your customer and are trying to stop your employer from going ahead with it's commercial decision to open up a new base in another country, over unfounded allegations that it will erode conditions in the ROI.
AL is not a semi state company anymore, you can't keep holding your employer to ransom everytime they make a decision you don't like.
