Actually the possibility of relocating to Rome on an Italian contract was not that popular during the 90 day consultation - Fact. There certainly wasn't a stampede. Also, a German contract at parity with the UK contract with the current exchange rate suddenly won't look so clever if sterling ever recovers. I'm starting to get the impression that there are way too many people in the bigger bases sitting fat dumb and happy thinking this isn't going to affect them. Wrong, it's only a matter of time. Apathy is not our friend here. The new German contract has a totally different structure to the present EZY contracts, ie, low basic with the rest made up in sector pay - sound familiar? Either we fight this assault together or eventually we're all screwed. Unfortunately, in this climate an escape tunnel is not really an option otherwise the way things are shaping up, I think I'd already be digging.
