Decision Time.
I think all LAME's should take a very deep breath, open your eyes and make a rational decision. If the decision is to fight this, you need to be prepared to fight to the death of your employment. That is a real possibility and you must accept this at the start.
If QF decides to take us on this time around, you know they've made a decision to go all the way. There will be no half measures like allowing LAME's to have 4 hour stoppages and bans. They have the advantage because they know how well the members have stuck together in the past. Solidarity has not been one of our strong points.
Consider how you'll survive with no income for an undetermined period of time. Are you or can you place yourself into this position and survive?
Prepare for the worst before leaping and we may come out the other side.
Good luck to all.
