Just found these gems from 2007 BBC News

Post by REDLETTER »

The CWU said Royal Mail's business plan would lead to 40,000 job losses, pay cuts, mail centres and delivery office closures and threaten pensions.
Deja vu? Nothing new nowadays!!!!
The CWU has been calling for a 27% pay rise over five years, which it says would bring general worker pay in line with the national average.
:hmmmm

Is there a decimal point missing? should be 2.7%? :roll:
