Re: Long Shifts and the Demise of AN

NR might be trying to cut costs, but its not because they want to screw
workers for the share holders gain, its to break even. NR wouldn't be
pushing so hard to cut costs if the Road industry wasn't given such a free
hand by the government.

If NR can't make a profit, there won't be any jobs.
