18:218929I dont dispute the benefit of DHB getting a bit of a kicking, Brian, but this is not the way to do it.

19:558932the kicking i was on about is a wake up call to the dhb directers to get back round the table and sort things out in a civilised manner.the workers involed have dovers mp backing them.

20:168935I think Brian that is the crux of the problem. The DHB just announced its decision without first notifying its workforce. Coupled with the fact that up to now they have refused to enter into any discussions and its little wonder that they have voted for strike action.
Barry I don't know what world you live in, you are an ordinary working bloke, surely you must appreciate that the DHB employees are worried about their jobs and that management have left them no lines of communicaion.

20:258941i cannot remember a situation previously where there is no discussion.
it is like living in a fascist state.
normally the powerful multinationals play the game and let the workforce put their views across, then stick by the original decision.
at least then, the staff feel like they have been listened to.

22:288950Dave, I have said why I have no sympathy for the strike. I see others facing much worse problems taking a far more constructive approach to resolving them. I simply compare the 'dilemma' that the DHB workers are in and compare it with what I see first hand is happening in and to small businesses - it is the latter that get my sympathy.
