In the end you must do what you feel is right, we are facing a battle we can win, but a war we can not. In the end this will end up being a pyrrihic victory, a victory achieved at too heavy of a loss. For those of you that dont know what I am referring to read the following:
The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one more such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.
Full pay until they shut us down
We are on the Titanic. We have two choices: scream like frightened children, pleading to G@d for help and fighting our way to a life boat; or we can go down like men, giving our life vests to others.
Many of us have worked to improve working conditions and pay. We did... perhaps only a bit, but we did. To those who work at other respectable companies, I humbly ask that you tip your hat to us as we draw the line. We chose the wrong battle, but hopefully, our efforts, and those of our brethren will eventually win the war.
Honorable pay for honorable work. No concessions.
I, for one, choose honor.
