You obviously know nothing. A pay freeze agreed in the last 18 months is actually a pay cut (no matter what business you are in) when you factor in inflation, VAT increases, projected increases in base interest rates and credit / working family tax reductions.

Do you think that people employers "get rid of" simply "disappear"?
Do the maths (factoring in the benefits that those 10 people will now claim) and you'll see just how stupid and naive you are being.

That being the case then why are we posting in a thread called "There is trouble afoot" with you quoting threats of strikes?
