acbus,
Your'e quite right, shoddy tactics were and still are common place when the management want to do something, they will do it with no thought for the 'human' element.
We had are chances long ago to stand up and say 'NO' but we didn't. So who is to blame? I think we must all share blame in our current situation. They think we are weak and in many ways we are, mainly, I believe because we are a workforce that is seperated. If we all worked the same hours under the same roof things would never have gone on for so long. This is true of most airlines and is why our jobs enjoy little of the regulations that most industry's have. ........... When did you last work a 37 hr week?
