Paul, also to clarify, I was not having a go at you in any way, and I apologise if my post read that way. Clearly you are doing your utmost to rectify the situation and you have generously and most commendably explained how your hands are effectively tied.
I am simply saying that "rules is rules" and I would think that it can only help your negotiations if you can demonstrate that your organization is out of kilter with the rest of the industry. It also sends out the right signals to other organizations. Presumably your organization is not an RAO?
I have no doubt that you are not a wicked and evil baron but there is a bottom line that BAJR is teasing, cajoling, wheedling, coaxing and kneading upwards.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
