We got to know that the company was in the red and that was the reason why the decision to cut jobs had been taken. The announcement of the job cuts was like a red rag to a bull to the trade union. The union had stood its ground in negotiations despite of the pressure by management and rose to the occasion. | 1_______________ 2_______________ 3_______________ 4_______________ 5_______________ 6_______________ 7_______________ |
