wow another probationary pruner - so many popping up on this topic who are very pro the deal ....
anyway re % increase on trip pay...
FSM current £45 next 50 then 60 - so that's a 11% increase this year, and over 2 years it's a 33% increase
CSS 40, next £45 then £50 - so that's a 13% this year, 25% increase over 2 years.
Perhaps it's just possible that you are both correct but referring to different years - CSS more % in year one FSM more % over 2 years.
