NATS has made its "final" pay offer. We are to be offered more bonuses and the 21 month "pleeeeeeeaase don't cause trouble for us as we try to privatise you" deal!
The figures are cr*p- 3% until this Dec, 2.25 'til next!
Less than a spine point for OJTIs ( on the 3 scale at least) and more bonuses, including one for reduced delays! Like we have control over FMU in Brussels or we could shift an extra departure off 27R if someone slipped you an extra fiver!!
Management are showing what they think of our true worth, we, the "best controllers in the world"! And quite frankly folks, it ain't much!
We want consolidated, PENSIONABLE pay increases- if the money's there for bonuses it can be found for the equivalent rise in basic pay. Think how much easier this would have all been had they just offered 6 or 7% 5 months ago!
I urge you to get onto your IPMS Rep immediately and let him know what you think- and if you're satisfied with it when you see the details then you're easily conned!
