The power of the (free) press.......
When the workforce feel they have no genuine or meaningful avenue of dialogue with their management on this or many other issues, the tried and tested method of involving the press is often a last resort.....

Top tip to those who live in EGHQ upper floors and believe the insulation of Dubai will always protect them - pull your heads out of the sand, deal with the issues and avoid all the mud slinging and embarrassment of this being discussed in the papers.
