That may well be the case now. In which case why are you following the path he's wanting you to tread? You can be sure he's thought this through and isn't scared of a strike threat - we've seen that already.
Wouldn't you prefer to do what WW doesn't want you to do?

You make it sound like other departments haven't had to cross this bridge yet. We have. It's only Bassa who are digging in their heels refusing to be dragged across.
