The banksters set a precedent in 2008, now other industries are in alignment. There are only two classes now, the worker class and the management class. The worker class is being slowly gutted so that the greedy lot at the top can pay their bonuses!
Anyway from what I understand in mid October there are the results of an annual conversion bid process which flags up any short fall in numbers, will there be a requirement for anyone I wonder? I would say most likely not, that would be far too convenient!
