Which means if the crewing levels aren't agreed, they will be imposed. The deadline is tomorrow for all practical purposes. If a deal is agreed, I can see those 2000 (or more perhaps) walking with a nice VR payoff.
As previously mentioned (not that CFC appears to have read any of the thread), if no deal is agreed a deal will be imposed shortly followed by 2000 P45s going in the post with statutory redundancy. Any resulting attempt at a strike will almost certainly be prevented by legal means.
