In this case though media sources emphasised that due to the technicalities of running the plant, a projected strike; and don't forget you aren't allowed as management to actually asks potential strikers if they are going to strike or not, meant that they had to take the steps to close down safely some time before the actual strike date.
On the other hand, I'd still like the company to produce some figures on the profitability of the plant. Share holder gluttony dictates too much company policy and encourages some to "renegotiate" long held contract conditions. Such tactics are always top-down from corporations to individuals. I propose a UK version of the Arab Spring, perhaps a Britsh Winter where millions abandon major power suppliers and go to smaller independents as an alternative. Unfortunately apathy, mine included will see that this doesn't happen. First world problems aren't motivational enough.
Now where's my soapbox?
