The full deal is as follows:
7% increase to basic scale
3% increment has been awarded (contractural annual increment)
10% on utility allowance
15% increase on productivity payments
Does it cover the cost of inflation?...no.
Is it better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?...yes.
Will it solve our manpower problems?...Doubt it.
I just want to work overtime when I want it, not every month. I am getting more and more tired. We need more peolpe to reduce the work rate and I doubt if this will change the picture.
