Is it a requirement to be angry and ignorant to post on here?
ZB, I have been on a company PLC and on a BALPA Committee for many years. I have negotiated through many hours with management and generally, over the years, acheived fairly good results. Thats how it's done. Some years you gain a lot, some you gain a little and in some years people mutter about strikes. Strikes achieve nothing in this bussiness. Wait and see what happens in BFS this week and then tell me I'm wrong.
As for bokkenwhatever's comments, well, just plain ignorant seems to suffice in your case.
