AFOS, I know a couple of Chinese coal mines in HKG's back yard. You should apply, I think you would love it and won't ever have to worry about going on strike or getting "too much" from your employer. I think you will fit right in.

And as someone has already mentioned, there will always be something that management will cry about. If it isn't loads, it is fuel price. Take my workplace. They hedged themselves silly when fuel was at its highest and lost 8 billion, which they wrote off in 2008 and came crying to employees to take unpaid leave.

Just one year later, fuel goes back up and they now make 4 billion of that loss back. What do they tell employees? Oh, it is just a "paper profit", we didn't really make that money.

Oh yeah? Well you didn't claim it was a paper loss when you asked for concessions, yet now you cry that it is only a paper gain.
