Ok a few points
The members directed that it should be a one year pay deal.
The members directed that basic pay should not be linked to wpp.
The model is flawed and it says in the paperwork with the ballot paper it is not for banding, so why is it being used to do so.
Why are we using it for anything?
Based on what is the gap between TC and AC growing between the rest.
Half five starts keeps coming up as the only reason. It is a national agreement so any unit can therefore be given half five starts.
There is more good than bad in the pay deal but some of it should not be there. We are being made to vote on the whole package which for many means they have to vote no to show they disagree with elements of the package.
Apparently this is not the place to air our views and to do it through the proper union channels eg Vote NO.
Many people have not been listened too. Our national officer, anyone see him at any of the briefings. How can they ask us to vote using the model?
Action if no vote
If management take the money off the table we have to decide on industrial action eg eveyone out. If you are not prepared to do so vote YES.
StillDark&Hungry if you read further back it is not really about money its worse than that it is pride and the treatment of other units. It is so bais towards TC and AC it is embarrassing. Most of it has been thought out by people who dont know enough about NATS ATC as a whole to come up with anything realistic.
Yes it has become clear over the months it comes down to a lack of knowledge. No one seems to say who was consulted just that we were. Not good enough.
