If everyone is on a different contracts and you and Grim have been actively moaning, I won't say fighting the good cause, for 10 years, surely the failure to achieve any measure of uniformity of contract or negotiating success lies with you. You were in the company, the rest of us were outside and came to this much later.
Notwithstanding that, you are content to blame everyone but yourselves for the mess you find yourselves in: hardly unifying.
