To all CEP's: Your mistake is defining your shortfall in income under the banner of 'housing allowance'. For a whole host of reasons, the logic of that will fall flat. If you want an increase in pay (which ALL of us support, for everyone including CEP's), then you should be agitating for an increase in salary, or perhaps a 'cost of living' adjustment of some sort. Don't make the mistake of thinking we don't support you, we do. It's just that the basis of your arguement will lead nowhere. Change the context of your dispute with the company to something that cannot be destroyed with a logical repost. We have all been 'dumbed' down in respect of pay and benefits, and we all deserve that being addressed.
