One point to consider when voting on this agreement is whether or not a situation will arise in the future where there are more "new hires" on the lesser conditions than those of you who get to vote this time around.
If this is the case, then be VERY CAREFUL about voting it up, as the company can, and in all likelihood will offer an agreement in the future to give them (new hires) a payrise to bring you lot down to a median level.
Why would the company come to you offering you a payrise? Its not out of goodwill! I'd suggest they are using similar tactics to what QF used on their Long Haul Cabin Crew.
If it really is 'all about you' as some posters in this agreement have suggested, then please have a think about the future. Are you going to be outnumbered by people who will cut you down to feather their own nests?
Just a thought....
