Something about good intentions paving something to somewhere......
There is no way that JL's letter is binding. I'm shocked that the MEC is giving any weight to his statement. If, this was an issue that the MEC was against and JL had put out the same letter, they would be deriding management for having the audacity to think we would "trust" management.
I mean absolutely no disrespect to JL. I just firmly believe that senior management can, and will, leave him and his statement twisting in the wind if it suits them and the bean counters.
