    They'll be doing their bosses a favour, no need to make 'em redundant!

    That bright spark is going to abandon his job!

    The tool boxes want a 10% pay rise when their bosses want them to take a 10% pay cut. Muppets.

    Not quite; the sparks want their already agreed 4% and the bosses want them to take a 6% cut.

    So on paper it looks like 10%.

    How will they decide whether to strike or not? Will they take a volt on it?

    There's reluctance to transform their volts but there is capacity to induce current thinking to induct new charges to the static workforce.

    And they'll need some lightning answers to defuse such a charged situation. They'll have to keep an ion it.

    Current public attitude will be a large impedance to their cause. All they can do is solder on but they'll be lucky to place anything on their breadboard in a short while.

    Me thinks a lot of them will be laid off. Why? Because there are many MANY more electricians that are unemployed now that will take their places.

    If you lay someone off and make them redundant you can't instantly replace them with a non-union electrician.
    If you are made redundant it's your position that was made redundant. So how can you be replaced by someone else? Not straight away anyway

    They are laws to stop this sort of thing.

    I thought their hourly wage was about 21e? Even a 6% cut is still 20e - is th dole that good these days?
