As far as the hourly-paid are concerned, the Union will know doubt seek an assurance from the company that any redundancies will be on a voluntary basis. No doubt, if the package is right, they'll be no shortage of takers. As for middle managers, they'll have to hope their face fits. A lot of staff jobs have been filled by people who interview well and who talk the talk.
The one thing I think I know, there were no compulsory redundancies for the hourly paid in my 30 years.

Pretty spot on agent orange I know some people are just waiting for it to come up, several people left last year just to take early retirement.

I would guess, if pensions can be sorted etc, there is a lot of 60 y o who would be ready to go. Mind you, it's a little different talking about walking and actually walking

P gave me some facts, so that I can check tomorrow morning and confirm to VT that P told me the facts.

So tomorrow I will say either "confirmed/matched" or "load of b0ll0cks, he's the tea boy"

I hate people who know things I dont, and then on top of that, they tell me they know stuff I don't. Not that I even want to know really. But it's just they think I want to know and they have power over me, which they don't, but I don't want them even to think they do.

If only I was 10 years or so older.

I reckon the management have got their best men and women on the case, in fact they have probably spent 1000 man hours on a suitable acronym.

Thinking about it, pickles may be the man for this. I've though about a suitable one but couldn't come up with anything, but there, I was hourly paid.
