BusyB. I have enjoyed reading your posts and see much of the logic in your argument. Perhaps I made too much of the 'morally bankrupt' comments that seemed to be flying my way. They hurt as I think that I am a very moral person. I am not in the 'know' as to what, where, when and how many court actions are pending. If the AOA litigant wins in Hong Kong then that is one thing and something would come of that. But you and I both know deep down that any court case in Hong Kong over these matters will go with the company. The court cases overseas are another thing/s, it is my opinion that even if the AOA litigants win all those cases then the findings will not be enforceable in Hong Kong and the company will ignore them. Perhaps a bit of good PR for the AOA - you would think - but remember that we expatriates are the minority here and the locals could not care less about what happens in court rooms OS or what happens to expatriate conditions in Hong Kong. Other than silently cheering every time an expatriate benefit is lost. I don't like lawyers and I am sad at the rise in litigation in general around the world. Did you know that even in the middle ages people said there was a special place in hell reserved exclusively for lawyers.
