Can someone here speak for the workers from a position of knowledge (I cannot)? There has to be a reason something like 90% voted to strike, the tiny proportion that has caused this technical ruling from the court is irrelevant to that proportion. I have no interest or bias either way, I just feel uneasy that everyone seems to back the management. A manager being paid something in the order of 600k a year plus bonus and one imagines with a secure pension telling people on about 30k (not bad I'll grant you) with insecure pensions that they are over paid seems wrong! For example, is the pension "black hole" a result of a company that took contribution holidays in the good times and now wants to renege on its commitments in the bad times. This seems to be the case with many pensions. However middle class we might feel, we are all wage slaves really, about three pay packets away from losing the house, this knee jerk anti-unionism feels like a long term problem for us all.
