The GMA, SK, and all the boys in mgt positions above the 3rd floor are all having a laugh at us - everyday. This is truly amazing. I am assuming the reason that something has to be put out is some strange industrial rule related to the fictitious and unneeded recognition and bargaining BS we wasted time on.
Time to clean house, use labor lawyers instead of pilots on the NC, have our chairman walk our offer into Richards office on a whim the night before contract compliance or MSS starts, and then batten down the hatches. Probably a good time to sell out of HK and move back to everyone's homeland for the coming ordeal, as I don't sense much respect being given by the company to our collective selves. Having a plumbing business will probably pay more soon in our home countries, and you will put up with less "stuff".
What is complicated about this offer? Why are we even considering it??? Where is last year's good faith pay review??? 0 % increase is not a pay review. Did we finally get 25 year housing in writing before the company brought us this offer???? Wasn't that promised last time?
Compounded, with inflation, we are being offered on average around an 8% paycut from 2013 to 2016. WTF over!
