True,it's not consolidated but neither was the original 4% going to be that the MAJORITY of members voted to accept in the original deal.
No it's not an ideal situation at present, but how many were prepared to come out once the AG offered the 3%?. It's no good threatening action when we all know very well that most won't do anything over a couple of %.
Management now need additional operational attendances from AC staff and I would suggest that no one volunteers to do these under any circumstances in order to strengthen our position when the pay claim is submitted. But we all know that there will be a large number who will do so if the dosh is enough.
