It's standard practice in employment circles the employer to give out the
worst-case scenario for redundancies at the point when you start consulting
with the Unions. Then if they are able to withdraw part of the threat at a
later stage it sweetens the consultations. I've been on the TU negotiator's
seat in such circumastances many times.
