UK RPI for this year so far is 4.3% so the company's offer for this year is 11.6% above RPI. Whether that's way,way,way above RPI is for the individual to decide.
The fact is when I take into account the sacrifices in terms and conditions being asked to achieve this offer, extra months standby, loss of guaranteed weekends off on standby, insufficient trip pay for seniors etc,etc,etc, this for me personally takes the increase below RPI.
If I didn't make it clear earlier an unconditional RPI increase is what I need.
Crew have to make that individual decision for themselves and we'll know what that decision is shortly.
Will you accept an extra months standby next year for an RPI increase?
Digitalis, you post makes perfect sense if I thought the people at the helm had the talent to steer us into safer waters, however I don't believe that to be the case. I have no faith in them at all, so I'll be voting YES.
