If we do go on strike all units must down tools for the same period of time on the same day.In 1981 when we were ( well some of us ) last on strike we went for the odd unit on strike while other units were working and it gave rise to comments like Glasgow should be on strike so do not answer that 'phone line ( even if the ATCO at Glasgow was not in the union and he was just doing his job) It made a lot of people very uncomfortable.
The next time everybody out at the same time and all those who do not want to strike can work with each other and probably make a complete ar$e of it.( and then watch the company "thank" them.)
I no longer give a monkey's about public sympathy.I have put an awful lot of my OWN MONEY into this pension fund.
Also while I am on a rant I do not care what companies outside NATS are like.We have fought hard and long for our Terms and Conditions.We should not be trying to emmulate poorer companies , they should be trying to get on par with NATS.
