Re: scottish oil strike

So, if your employer decided to renege on an agreement for pay or pension then you would just roll over, presumably?

The owner of Ineos has about £3.3 billion (and rising) - and probably has a company pension fund to which he contributes nothing.

The turnover of his empire is around £45 billion - what difference do the pension funds of a few workers matter?
