There is a rumour going around that management are going to try and tough this one out. Brinkmanship is the word i believe.

Basically that they will say that they have recruited the biggest ever SCP class and will offer extra incentives for overtime to plug a "short-term" gap. They know best -we are not short of staff-and the amount of overtime required is really actually quite small. Now where is the problem?

Wonder what type of reaction that will get tomorrow

The reason they are willing to do this is because they cannot be seen to accede to our "demands" . This is effectively a power struggle-and they obviously don't want to give an inch to the staff and Impact. They cannot be seen to be weak or they have failed in their job to be hard assed big balled business men.

Just so ye know - its quite likely this will transpire tomorrow. Lets see.

Yours as ever
