And i forgot they ran a free raffle, there wouldve been 60 people all with one ticket. There was roughly 50 prizes, mainly bottles of wine, some pretty decent stuff amongst it. Of course i was one of the 10 who didnt get a prize, i thought that was pretty average of the company.
We were not allowed to purchase extra drinks. i did manage to sneak in another 2 as guy next to me didnt drink, we had two tokens each. Our end of vintage show back in July was a free for all but the company supplied a bus for that. I believe the policy has changed since then and they wont do that anymore either.
It may have also have to do with the EB agreement that is being negotiated atm. We currently have a CPI clause where we get CPI % increase if its more than the agreed % increase. The company wants to remove that, We are not budging on that, once you lose that you will never get it back.
They also think we're stupid or something, their original offer was 4,4,3 over the next 3 years then they put up a nice shiny 5, but attached was 3,2
The site isnt currently unionised but its about to be, hopefully that threat is enough to change their minds.
