    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'm all for (re)volt but in the current climate such resistance is ill-advised.

    You'll never get the electrical contractors and the TEEU sitting down for negotiation, they're like two positively charged ions!

    Of course they're going on strike, they will be paid absolute poo if they get a pay cut.

    People on the dole will end up better off than them =/

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