Hi All

Virgin has left a deal on the table of 4.8% .So what do we do..?

60% have said NO to this latest pay offer..! Which is very high..

So do we say NO to a strike and accept the pay offer of 4.8% which 60% said NO to.

Or

Do we say YES to a strike and hope that a new offer comes on the table at the last moment....? and if not show the world that our rates of pay are not as good as they should be.

I think we should have more advise from the union on this one and as 60% said NO to the last pay deal I believe the only way forward is for the union to advise us to go on strike.
If we accept the 4.8% which so many of you are not happy with (60%) we will be stepping back but a step forward would mean Strike.
Everybody did think that the 4.8% deal would be pulled if the vote went against but the deal is still there. So if we go on strike what deal will be there...? more or less..? A very testing time for us all I think..!

Regards

Virgin Dolly
