great post CK.
Ayroplain, tell you what, go through your life grinning and bearing it. My colleagues and I still have a choice. One more time, the industrial action was about the refusal of management to comply with their own freely entered into agreements. The company is not at stake, so keep grinning and keep bearing it because with your own knocked down sense of self worth I'm betting you look like the happiest guy on Earth.
