The day management see the light will really be a momentous day in history.
I really can't see them wanting to individually do AWA's with thousands of
employees when they can effectively control them by virtually forcing them
to join the Union. They can then control most of their industrial activities
through the Dispute Settling Procedure which results in payment of the
Industrial Allowance. Why would they want to fuck with something which
works?
