1 b 00 The airport custodial staff, 01 font 00 which 02 font 00 (A) 01 u 00 hasn't been working 02 u 00 under contract for a year, (B) 01 u 00 are thinking 02 u 00 about (C) 01 u 00 striking 02 u 00 if management (D) 01 u 00 doesn't agree 02 u 00 to salary increases. 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 I think (B) should be corrected to 01 u 01 b 00 is thinking 02 b 02 u 00 because in American English "staff" is considered a singular noun. 02 br
02 br
00 But, what I would like to ask is about the relative pronoun " 01 font 01 b 00 which 02 b 02 font 00 ". Do you think if using "who" is much better? Please advise. 02 br
