It is really hard to have unity when when you have one group looking down on another. The LEPs are NOT asking the company to get rid of expat allowance, they just want the same allowance. Why are the expats so against this? It doesn't take away anything they have. Are they so afraid to be seen as equals to local? Is this demeaning to them? The argument of "don't like it leave" can be apply to all those moaning about CX.
