Elwood:

Digital shareholders did not accept the acquisition quietly. Several current and past employees rose
to express their anger towards senior management at the relentless downsizing the company has
endured in recent years.

''We are here to warn future management and shareholders that employees are sick of layoffs and
ready to fight for their jobs,'' said Derek Lee, to the cheers of the crowd.

Lee, who spoke on behalf of Digital's 20,000 European workers, warned of looming ''social
unrest'' if Compaq lays off additional workers in Europe.

I liked the part about 'social unrest', can we implement this for the stockholders and get EP's attention???

John <ggg>

PS - I realize these guys are upset over 20,000, but I wonder if they have any idea how many got the boot at IBM in the late '80's and early '90's....
