But if we are to judge from the tone of a BTL employee bulletin issued from management today, BTL isn't about to do that or make any conciliatory gesture. The chilling bulletin notes that some employees have been participating in coordinated coffee break, sick outs and other disruptive behaviour, and the bulletin warns them to consider their options before taking such actions.

It advises employees that, "we can go forward together or we can have continued confrontation and disharmony for months and years to come."

It urges employees not to support actions that are "contrary to what they believe."
