BDiONU,
You asked whether we are signed up to NATS terms and conditions. Why are the answers to everything to do with Gib so complicated? The short, and technically correct answer, is 'No'. The reason being that NATS took us over under TUPE, so we are still bound by the Serco T & C's. However, we have undergone six months of intense NATSification (Nazification ?) and indoctrination into the NATS Management System, and as far as the unit is concerned we are NATS. But although the staff are employed by NATS, the pay and conditions are still as they were with Serco. Apart from allowances, it would seem, where for some reason we are allowed the NATS scale of accomodation and meal allowances on official trips. Management seem to be cherry-picking bits and pieces from the various terms and conditions so we don't know where we are, who we are, or what we are entitled to. This is what is pi**ing us off.
