The question you posed appeared to be phrased in a way that inferred that the cause of the pension deficit was based purely on our payrises...if I got the wrong end off the stick, I apologise...its a n emotive issue, no doubt about that.
I'd prefer to know exactly what the hell the company were doing while they were taking a payment holiday and then posting record profits...whilst management were getting fat payrises with money that could have been paid back into the pension fund. Surely people must see that there is something fundamentally wrong with that, or is just me being cynical??
