@hounddog - the current setup favours the free loaders, i worked with guy who was institutionalised by RM, he was a lovely bloke but one of the most useless tools in a kiddies tool box. This is what years and years of being nannied by the government does for the mind, its like a form of brain washing.
Piece work or price works gives you targets to aim for, its empowering it also gives you a sense of responsibility and drive as you are effectively helping yourself, its not for everyone (freeloaders) as they will be the first out the door, but for those who enjoy a days work and some self satisfaction its perfect, its not about cracking the whip its about being more productive and leaving with some sense of achievement and self satisfaction, its a win win for everyone, ive done it i know.
This will turn ugly now for those that go to picket, as rick has said some staff already cant believe they havent accepted an offer, most reasonable people realise you have to wiggle room when negotiating, its how deals are made but by demanding everything set out from the get go.
Staff have the chance to save their jobs, those who go picket will almost certainly be gone if this comes to a P&O style fire and rehire, even if it doesnt there will be job losses now. Go and see your managers get a deal and continue working, ile say it again.
ITS UP TO YOU...
