Like we always do ?

There is a reason 'we always do'. EBA negotiations shouldn't have to be expired for over a year before an agreement is reached. Which by the way, the company uses, has used and will continue to use the 'if you don't accept this you won't get your backpay'

The company wants this fight for its own reasons, demands haven't been unreasonable, demands this time are for job security. They won't give it to us which obviously means they want us out.

Regardless of what we concede and just take it on the chin (like the pay freeze in 2001 which was promised to be given back once times got better... never was), they're going to sack us all anyway. The funny thing is I'll probably walk into the door of their new engineering services company on a higher rate of pay then I've been on the day after I'm given the boot for being too expensive.
