Point one. The United Kingdom is NOT a country
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland ARE countries
The United Kingdom is a nation.
Oxford's definition not mine...lesson learned.
Fidgell-It's not the moving as such. It's the lack of options and the extraordinarily poor way the whole thing has been managed since the early 90's, the lack of options available, the denial of postings elsewhere and the lies which we have been subjected to.
Mobile grade-It is legally not enfoceable. This is currently being pursued by 4 different legal teams now, and is therefore not just opinion-it is legal fact...look it up if you doubt it. We have been told we are a mobile grade as the standard answer-not true.
We are told if there are any positions available we will be allowed to move south. One ATCO this week handed in his notice at EGCC because he was denied a move down south as he could not be released to be with his partner at TC. She has also resigned. Point made.
We are told redundancy is not an aoption. Again (and it's not the amount) I refer you to european law and our very own staff handbook. More 'untruths'.
Many of us have the opinion that NATS are not advising us of these options and legal points as the house of cards would come tumbling down. They may be just about to. It's not about whether you like or dislike Prestwick. How many times do we need to say that? It's a basic right of everyone to be treated with honesty and respect. We feel that this has not happened.
Are NATS in for a bit of a shock.?I honestly believe so but what would I know?
As for another GM leaving before the move. It seems to have been a rapid move that no one had the slightest inkling about.
Something about a sinking ship?
