It appears to me that their 'offer' is intentionally so dreadful and unacceptable that we have to strike to try to prevent it - so they can then tear up any previous agreements.

Basically, we are probably ultimately screwed in either case but at least we still right now have the option to go down fighting rather than just give up and accept it.

The fight is for us to win and win it we will.

It all seems just as I thought when I posted the topic to start with. Our terms should have been legally protected till 2019 at the earliest, so I don't think there is anywhere to hide on this one, there is no fence to sit on, the RM proposals stink worse than a mucks-spreader. I for one am not voting to accept this shite while our board swan around on gold plated terms while shitting on the workforce.
