Well, if it wasn't for all the years of bulsh*t excuses to strip profits away from the employees, I might cry some crocodile tears. When I read that the directors have awarded themselves almost 20 - 30% increases in annual pay and bonuses, needless to say their 'concerns' can be put where the sun doesn't shine. Funny how this happens just as negotiations begin. Oh, and Billy the Kid, you hit the nail on the head.
