Still it is the company's right to take your miles (they are not really your miles since the company payed for them) to use them for business travel. I even think Lufthansa has a program for companies where automatically miles earned by company employees go into a company account. I would say you are out of luck.
You are entitled to you opinion of course.
However, in the US, for most business travel, we work our 8-10 hours, _then_ are required to get on a flight for a total trip time of 3-6 hours, and almost always (at least in the US), we are not paid for any of this travel time.
IMHO - this absolutely makes the miles MINE!
When the company pays me for ALL of my travel time, they are welcome to the miles.
