I am astounded to hear that management could impose satutory redundancy terms. I have read the legislation and it states quite clearly that only those terms that are discriminatory are void - therefore 1 month per year is enforceable under the old scheme because it is not age discriminatory. How can it be legal to take away a non-age-discriminatory term and condition?
I hope the union have taken their own legal advice on this because it sounds like macho bull from NATS to intimidate us. And by the way, how the hell can it be unlawful to strike (with a ballot)??? Even if it is, planes can't take off when we're striking, lawfully or otherwise, and Airline Group airlines would start to go bust very rapidly indeed....
Another 'no' vote you can count on.
