At least we won`t feel that we are alone in the cesspool, but how about a Workers` Fightback Watch, to demonstrate that we don`t just meekly accept our fate, meted out by those that have caused this dire situation in the first place Ah, what a great idea!

Some of us argue that now is the time to develop staff to respond to what the future will look like. We say that organisations that strip themselves to the bare bones will not be in any position to respond when things get better. This GFC is significant as it coincides with the urgent environmental need to change the way business is done. If all these people are un-employed they will lose skills and potentially will be behind the eight ball, as with the organisations who sacked them. Organisations that keep their staff and look to what the future will be like and develop them accordingly will spring back faster than those that don't. If reducing cost is really necessary, then yes, move people to less time rather than no time. We have to stop attempting to prop up the past because it is exactly that, the past.
