Shysters
Alan l - are you one of the [ex] members of staff? My point in that posting is that if you are no longer accepting payment (ie fired) then you have my every sympathy and may your god go with you.
If you are accepting payment from AFT then you should be smoothing the passage for the students who, it would seem, have been treated disgracefully and deserve more than a 'sorry guv, limited conpany (sic) law applies' response that is almost inevitable in these situations.
Your admonishment emoticon is very irritating, by the way. Please do not use it.
