Juno and the paycock. An Irish play set in the 20&rsquo;s. The memorable quote. &ldquo;Management sacrifice one employee and the union ensure that another 100 lose their jobs.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br />Given recent decision of 2 other corporate practices to restructure (and yes I have seen the ruptured spleen post) I would urge all sides to moderate their language and rhetoric.
