Would the larger units come out on strike,if any pension changing plans involved NSL lower band units only.Errr No.Maybe that's what going to happen
This CAN'T happen
Any changes to the pension happen to the pension as a whole - not individual members.
Banding is not the issue here. It is an issue - just not this one.
If we don't stand together on this then what banding did to pay will be insignificant.
Once Barron (and any future boss of NATS) sees that we aren't prepared to fight for our pension, our biggest T&C imho, then you can kiss pay rises goodbye. It'll be RPI + 0% - "because we have to save money".
It doesn't matter what band/grade/job you are. If you have money invested in NATS pension scheme - your money - then you have to stand together.
Please leave banding out of the pension discussion.
