Do you want Stella or Boddington's with that pay-cut?

The GMB in Lancashire have called a protest meeting for tomorrow in support of suspended shop steward Gary Belshaw.

Best bit about this story is that ASDA, part of multi-national behemoth Wal-Mart, unilaterally demanded that warehouse workers in Wigan increase the number of items lifted per eight hour shift from about 1,100 to 1,400. In return management offered the forklift drivers a free crate of beer if they agreed to the increase....visions of fork-lift truck drivers careering round the warehouse after supping their 'bonus' (sic) in an attempt to meet their new targets! Can management get more inane than this?

Can anyone else offer up a more bizarre 'bonus' offer, or example of British management at its best?!
