2dmoon, your 60-40 split in favour is apparently fairly accurate. As i would expect, by dragging out the pay talks & by addressing individual groups they've managed to get a less than perfect pay deal & a stand by period (that will induce more sick notes than an Xmas day Lagos) through!!!!!!!!!
I know of a few people (especially part time) who are just fed up with it all taking so long & want to see the money in their pocket, they don't intend to do the stand by month (how do you work stand by for a month if you have children????).
It's in the hands of the voters now, but please don't complain afterwards if other departments hold out & negotiate a better deal!!!!!
