Best thing for flexible people to do is vote yes, take the bonus & leave. Others who are in a situation where it will be too hard find or can't find another job should vote no. Anyone thinking job can't be saved though is clutching at straws. 4:30pm finish time's. They're having a laugh with that.
I've been banging on about it since last year that it's gonna happen sooner or later. Didn't think they would push the 4:30 finish in so quickly but here we are.
The union knew it was unavoidable & they can only do so much, that's why they gave in. Part of me actually wants a no vote to be the outcome, just to see what Rm's next move would be but RM will find some way to worm themselves out of a no vote. Probably play the administration card again.
Im not defending the union, I just think people should realize that maybe the union just don't have the power to stop RM pushing all these things through. Simple minded people see things as black & white when in fact it's complicated.
I could be wrong, the way I see it. The union did try hard to stop RM ruining the job. RM threatened administration & the whole game changed from there.
