Aren't they at least trying to make things better? If they really were feeling "sorry" for themselves, they wouldn't even bother.

So now you're saying why bother at all?
They should just keep the conditions that they have? That's hardly a solution.
At least getting a real contract with real pay rates will be a step in the right direction. Hopefully it will be the first in a long series!
