Brian,
"Cynical" speaks for me as well. In answer to your question "Activism - what style of activism?" the answer is at least something that gives us a chance - any chance. The democratic route that you described hasn't done us the slightest bit of good - in fact it's let us demonstrably let us down.
The real problem is that even my suggestion of AMIPP contacting suitable TV producers has received zilch response. I think TV will be receptive to this story.
In the end we will get the outcome we clearly deserve in all this - and that is we will always get whatever IBM wants us to irrespective of what we were promised because it's clear that very few people read this board - and most that do don't appear to be bothered enough to fight.
If you feel that the democratic route you describe might be helpful - have you put your name forward? You'll get my vote.
