I didn't vote to strike for new entrants to stay on NAPS because I don't believe in fighting for unwinnable causes. We would have been the only group in BA on strike, striking for a group of people who hadn't even joined the company and had the choice not to join if they didn't like the deal on offer.
Striking to preserve NAPS is an entirely different prospect, with a good chance of widespread company support. Occasionally a small number of new entrants complain about being sold down the river by their new colleagues in pension terms. I've yet to hear one of them complain about the vastly improved salary they currently receive due to us securing better pay scales for them at the last pay restructuring. We could have screwed everybody on PP1 to 4 because there was nobody in the company on those pay points due to the hiring freeze after 2001. Instead we fought a winnable battle and ensured that everyone who joined did it on the best terms we could realistically attain.
