...Interesting that when Nicky Campbell mentioned travel perks, Derek Simpson claimed they weren't perks but 'travel arrangements' for a 'global workforce'.
How ironic that when Walsh first stated clearly that he would remove travel perks the strikers were falling over themselves to tell the world they weren't much good anyway. Now they are essential 'travel arrangements' for a 'global workforce' and the main stumbling block for a deal. A deal which, interestingly, is otherwise basically the same as that which the strikers found wholly unacceptable when they first went out.
In other words the strike was unnecessary, has failed to get the better deal the strikers wanted, and now they are just hoping to get away with their original (rather valuable) staff concessions still intact.
