I certainly dont want to strike but unfortunatley it seems to be the only language our Management speaks. All we are to the current management are a financial outgoing which needs to be as efficient as possible.
Is it possible we could have had initially just the rate of inflation and No changes to our terms and conditions? Perhaps if an extra standby month could have been acceptable with a futher pay rise? Saving all this negative press. I think that would have been fair. I think the whole issue has been handled very badly. It just makes VS look now like any other corperation with an unhappy workload.
