What do CSS/FSM's think about this communication to their virgin email account asking them to come in and hear what management have to say about the paydeal ?
There is a part of me which is suspect - I would of expected a communication from the union first about the outcome of the pay talks - this seems a little odd - or am I too untrusting and full of scepticism. I can only interpret this as the pay talks did not go in the companies favour.
Dear FSM/CSS,
......Virgin Atlantic Management and Amicus/Unite met on the 20th/25th September to try and work out a deal that incorporates the feedback that we have been hearing from all the crew and one that is affordable to the business.
We would like to be able to update you face to face and invite you to join
a group of FSM/CSS colleagues and members of the Cabin Services Management team. Communication of any potential settlement is fundamental in moving this situation forward to an acceptable conclusion.
Anyone attending will receive an off-line allowance and the expertise
payment of £xx ......
Warm regards
Dave Henning
Cabin Crew Manager
