Thank you for your apology. It is gratefully accepted.
I hope you don't mind me banging on about this: you said:
We went on strike because of the principle of imposition.
But in your very next paragraph, in response to my asking if we should strike if a pay rise was imposed, you said:
Our dispute can't really be compared to such minor issues as it's not about a pay rise or different seats onboard which would mean having to work less.
So which is it? Is the important thing the
principle of the imposition (as in the first quote), or the
scale of the imposition (as suggested by your mention of "such minor issues").
Surely if the principle is the issue which is important enough to strike over, then one should strike regardless of what is imposed - how minor the subject is is unimportant. However, if the scale and nature of the imposition is important, then it would seem strange to go on strike to try to get something worse.
Must go to work now. Have a good night everybody.
