(I have held my tongue on union issues for a while now but i have just been reading the proposed housing contract when it dawned on me.
Remember 6 months ago when there was still a recruitment ban how the union was saying dont join now postpone etc.. Any guys that did follow that directeve will now be in for a suprise. The AOA commitee are now recommending the union pass a contract that will see new joiners seriously worse off in the housing allowance than current employees....
My frustration at that attitude goes beyond words...)
Not sure where you are coming from, since your last post shows you HAVE nothing to do with the union and NEVER will.
There is nothing that degrades a new officers entilement for over 10 years you have to be a CAPTAIN to then get the higher amount?
It also gives FULL legal protection as the words now are VERY specific in relation to the COS, ie Market conditions, this is what the new scheme does as it ties the money paid to the government rental index , This cannot be manipulated like it has been in the past.
You are obviously not happy and I do not blame you. So it is a shame you have NO say in your future career , just grin and bear it as you made a decision live with it and grow up.
