Workers have accepted significant changes to their working conditions, a pay freeze for a couple of years, and changes in pensions and contracts for new starters.....and subsequently they have won a major new contract which will secure jobs for a good few years.
A wise decision to help boost manufacturing, or manipulation of the workers? |

well since the other option was the intention to close the factory full stop... then I suppose a job is better than no job at all...
but then it is also a realisation that people have a fairly good standard of living doing what they do......
it wouldn't work for everyone, I am at the lower end of civil service pay.. and we have had a pay freeze for the last 3 years.. hence the decision to strike and it isn't one I take lightly.... |
