If you want get any headway on the random rostering thing you would need Unite to get very smart and very quickly. I wish you all the very best of luck but one of the big problems is that I think the 6/3 pattern is not an agreement, merely a 'protocol' hence can be ripped up at their behest. The Easyjet definition of 'protocol' would be something like: 'document suggesting empowerment but effectively meaning nothing and able to be scrapped when it suits by he/she who must be obeyed'. I believe TM is only the scapegoat here. Have a look behind her at the Firstchav massive. Quite a little love-in going on there.
