No Quick Fix

I think we need to set our expectations in the right place here.

The union have the mandate now, it couldn't be stronger, but we're only half way down a very long road.

The ball sits firmly with the company now. They have the choice of ending this now by giving a little, or stretching this into eternity with delaying tactics, pathetic improvements that would result in other time consuming ballots or forcing us to ballot for strike action. We made the decision to walk this path, which ever way it leads.

We have much on our side though, we hold the daily operation in our hands and the share price has hit an all new low of 200 in recent days. That's a drop of a third off the launch price.... Ouch.

If they make us happy, they'll reap the benefits long term. We'll get our heads down, work hard, throttle back and take the occasional shafting - happy in the knowledge were part of the same team, and seeing the rewards in our pockets.

JF, it's over to you. Quote me happy!
