Notes on the Front

GET RICH THE IBEC WAY!  If you accept our new low-low offer, you too can be better off by €2 per day.  You heard right – a big €2 per day.  That’s if you’re an average income worker.  If you make a little more, you’ll get about €1.60 a day.  Yes, work harder, become more productive – and earn less.  THAT’S THE IBEC WAY!

What about inflation, you ask?  With the IBEC WAY you needn’t worry about that.  Okay, you’ll actually be worse off – by €2 a day.  But if you don’t queue up for our take-it-leave-it one-time offer – it will be a whole lot worse.  So protect yourself and your family – better to be a little poorer, than really poorer.  THAT’S THE IBEC WAY!

This is our final offer.  We won’t discuss or negotiate this deal with you again.  We don’t have to.  That’s the law.  Never mind what those flaky Europeans do – all that Charter of Fundamental Rights or ILO treaties baloney.  We’re a great economy because we don’t have to recognise you as a partner.  THE IBEC WAY IS OUR WAY!

And no, there will be no pension coverage for you.  Not from us anyway.  Look at those Europeans – they pay into their employees’ pensions and see where people live: in hovels, picking berries by the roadside, begging at the seaports.  You don’t want that standard of living do you?  No, the IBEC WAY is the BEST Way – everybody on their own.

Your employer is in dire straits, your company is hanging by a thread, the economy is on a knife edge.  Take our word for it.  That should be enough for you.  Do you really think it would make a bit of difference if you knew how much profit we make or how much our executives are paid?  It wouldn’t.  THAT’S THE IBEC WAY.  And that’s the only way.

And if you don’t take this offer?  Plagues of locust will swarm the land, the wheat will grow thin: meltdowns, disease, poverty and a collapse of the social order.  You want to roll those dice?  You want your children to grow up in a radioactive environment?  Don’t gamble on your future – share the misery.  THAT’S THE IBEC WAY.
