I can only say that you may think this way, but on the coal face I can tell you very few people would have voted that way as a numbers game was ran and it WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. As you know they say little at meetings but when the penny drops and it sinks in NO WAY it would have happened. As is happening now heaps more working o/time just to make ends meet.
Do not get me wrong as you tried but face facts money is everything when it goes that is a dynamite situation for many, if a form of payment was given (do not know how, but other industries like car and Alcoa seems to be more important for future voting) it could have been survivable for many and it would have been voted up.
But the situation is dead and all marching 28th March 2014 (now this is a fact do you agree)
