Harry, you've made the point entirely. The originator of the thread gave a snapshot of EK now and omitted the points you have just made:
There is nothing in our 'contract' that specifically mentions the hours we can work.
There is nothing in our 'contract' relating to utilities allowance. Even with the cap, nobody has had to pay yet, have they?
There is nothing in our 'contract' about a yearly 3% rise.
Nothing can or should be expected because the contract is always a work in progress, work that is to EKs benefit and the employees detriment.
