Nothing veiled about NR's threats. I have it on good authority that he told the AOA that ANY industrial action, even contract compliance (which isn't doing anything we are not meant to do) will mean no negotiations on RP or housing later this year.
For that read no housing allowance, and back to FTLs.
"Oh no! Please don't throw me into that briar patch!". (With appropriate apologies to Br'er Rabbit and Tar Baby).
