Not at all. I just think the negotiating process need to be allowed some time to come to a logical end. One side walking out does not mean that negotiations have completely broken down.
Do you really think there will be an overwhelming walk out over 1% or 2% or so around Christmas??
Should there ever be a need for industrial action then it has to be something that will be guaranteed to get at least 80% out of the door. Anything less than that and management have us just where they want us.
Remember there is a voluntary scheme that people can always decide not to participate in to let management know their feelings.
