I do sympathise and can see where your anger and vitriol comes from if you were shafted for @$55000 (can't do euro sign..sorry), I really do.
Its ironic, however, that you appear intent on allowing everybody in your company to be undervalued and taken advantage of due to your loss and personal sense of grievance.
We've all been swindled or lost out in share schemes,bonus schemes etc etc by the corporate trough dwellers over the years, but most try to move on and change inadequacies perceived in "the system".
If yer man at IALPA is an arse then put in a vote of no confidence,present a case and hey presto he'll be gone, and you might just feel a little less bitter.
You're not a woman ( scorned ) are you?
