Gidday wethereyet,
There really are the only 2 options, and I do in fact agree with you. The problem will be to get everyone united enough. If we acheive that, then anything is possible. but as I said previously it will get nasty. Management, especially REX management do not like having terms dictated to them. proper negotiation has failed. Years of history bears that out.
Who knows, if people get pissed off enough, they just might finally unite. Now that would be something to see.
