I am torn two ways about the HTD.

I think it is a bit sneaky the way it has been mentioned after the pay deal went through.

I have more than 3 years to go but also realise that the company is hell bent on making savings (it kinda has to after being privatised by a governement that lambasted the Tories for privatising companies, and at the same time saddled us with hundreds of millions in debt).

Although I would love to keep my HTD, I would rather give it up and let the management realise that we are reasonable people, but when it comes to our pension (the next thing we will be asked to vote on), we will not allow any degradation.

I think that on a whole, the Union do a damned good job in what is a thankless task.
