"Hypothetically, If Edi tower had gotten a huge payrise relevant to other units are you telling me you would've voted no? "
It wasn't so a mute point. You all voted yes and split eveyone. Look at the Prospect annual report and conference agenda. Most units are bitching about Banding and see themselves as moving up. Management with the aid of the Union succeeded in splitting us, caused great resentment and I can't see a way back.
"It seems that because the union let you down, then the fault lies at the door of any band 5 unit or controller (presumably because of the large voting block), so whatever gripe they have now or in the future they can go swivel as far as your concerned??? "
Yes. What do you expect me to say. You voted yourselves a huge pay rise and didn't look back at us. So if you have problems can you really blame me for showing no support.
You will find that NEARLY every time someone comes on here saying "isn't it time we forgot the banding squabbling" it usually comes from someone sitting at a Band 5 unit. I'm all right Jack!!!
The only issue we can stay together on is hopefully pensions. However if something crafty is brought in to offer certain units (you can guess which ones they would be) a better deal the same thing will happen again. I'm sure this would not be possible but you never know.
Cheers mate. I'm off to do a bit of radar now as part of my second validation. That's the big screen with strange lines and writing on it!!!
