I'm taking it to mean union employees wouldn't get new grants. Which makes sense to me - I have a hard time squaring how you can be in a union with an adversarial relationship to management, whilst at the same time being an owner

Thanks, I wasn't aware of htmldoc or that LibreOffice had a headless mode. It does seem like htmldoc doesn't support CSS which is going to be a blocker for a lot of people. Pandoc is definitely worth considering but I didn't
