Big Picture:
9% payrise? If you go through the financial results, you'll see that a certain directors pay went up from under £500k to circa £600k. If that is 9%, then I will openly eat the Egg Florentine Sandwich next time one appears in the crew food box.
Me thinks that someone may not be telling the full truth if that was the figure unvieled to the CC...
And equally - I agree - maybe somebody should make a phonecall to one of the national newspapers? A dissenting workforce will not make for a happy floatation...
