oh I forgot to say...regarding offering cash to individuals - and this is the company telling us last month they have learnt from these negotiations and will respect us and treat us differently next time round so we should accept this offer and will be treated better next time
I guess this revelation blows that out the water then !
I am truly totally and utterly flabbergasted, as I say I had heard it but put it down to Galley FM. I am still genuinely shocked.
