the media just seems to say we're rejecting the 3.3% pay offer, but generally people are more miffed about the management continually meddling with the bonus and linking sick (Bradford points) to the bonus .......
I have to say I was not one of the 95%

If I can't get the product I usually buy, I try a different, cheaper, one. I sometimes stick with that product if it's not much different. So the arguement that Christmas stocks will be affected is, once again, suicide.

PS. I can't think of one heinz product I would use over Christmas. :-/

Not even tomatoe sauce on your turkey dinner?

We are going to have nothing left here soon if everything else buggers off overseas

If you were running the show and had a choice between strikes and cheap foreign labour.. which would you pick?

You know which one I would pick  as there is only one winner ...... it just goes to show we are a finished nation

if I was running the show there's loads I'd do. Clear a couple of layers of management for a start, buy from local suppliers instead of buying from the big boys like BSL etc who all add a massive percentage to the cost of parts. Put parts in stores that we actually want and f*** 
Eriks off from the site & buy directly ..... but that might mean that the stores managers might have to ............. er ............. manage!
Whether a workforce strikes or not won't deter companies from moving abroad, Cadbury bought Hall's Mentholyptus and shifted production to Turkey & Canada within a year of buying it. The B all & end all of big companies is the share holder & f*** the workforce.

Sorry Andy, didn't mean to set you off quite like that 

I realise there's sometimes a good reason behind a strike (although I'm jealous - if I go on strike I get fired, no unions for me    ) - anyway.. as you were..

*runs off and hides*

Andy, Re reading your posts about what the strike is about and its the same at our place as managers try to keep their budgets in order, so the share holders /upper management get their bonus for keeping cost down

    Sorry, I didn't intend to appear to go off on one  , as said before, I actually voted against strike action, but I was one of 10%.
There's no such thing as no union for you, everybody is entitled to join one.

I was told that all you need is 50 % of the workforce to start one  :-? :-? :-?

Best of luck Andy... Local media branded us at the docks lazy when we threatened to strike over our pay review of 1.5%, neglecting to mention that we had taken an unnecessary 5% cut the year before!
