Bord Gais looking for another 30-40% rise as a result of oil prices rising, I think they should do like all other big companies do when spending is getting out of control they look to make cuts within the company ie make people redundant stop spending on crazy overtime, restructure, outsource, what ever it takes I think it is to easy for them just to look for an increase, Look at the IT world companies PCs and software is cheaper now than they where 5 yrs ago , 2 of the biggest companies in this sector have cut costs within their own companies to compete, there are people in Bord Gais who are on big bucks these people should be off loaded giving a package and sent on their way, you could bring in 2 younger workers for same price and hungry to impress,
