  Barry I did read your posts, the juxtapositioning of your arguments clearly was meant to show a link between them and lead the reader to the belief that DHB's situation and that of small businesses was somehow linked.
  
  With regard to striking it is an essential right of working people whilst our employment law is based on the old "master and servant" principle thus creating an unequal playing field. Also the free market does not work particularly well in the context of employment as the whole premise of the free market is predicated on the concept of free and equal access to information, which patently is not the case in employment situations.
  
  DHB's disregard for its workers is in marked contrast to such employers as say JCB; who when faced with reducing sales etc. engaged their work force and the unions to try to find ways to minimise lay-offs and keep as many workers as possible in jobs. This collaborative approach worked as the workers agreed to £50 per week pay cuts in order to cut the lay offs from 150 to 45.
