Also the fact that we knew the wages when we took the job bears no relevance to what we should be expected to be paid today. The time served by staff ranges from 5 to over 10 years, well before BAJR rates were introduced. All staff started at the bottom and have worked their way up and to suggest that they should not expect their pay to be in line with their piers is the same as saying that someone who started with a supermarket before minimum wage was introduced should be happy with their £2.50 an hour.
I find the extreme revolutionary attitude very sad.
The whole point of my posting was "the revolutionary attitude" that was taken regarding the firm being forced to close. That's cutting your nose of to spite your face.
