Mr777,
Well the management working together with Prospect have erroded the pay at the smaller units,to keep the big units quiet.This was voted through because at the small units they couldn't vote against it due insufficient numbers,and the greed of the larger units.
Now the pension issue has surfaced,and will affect everyone.However for the first time the higher Band units are getting a taste of what the smaller units have been suffering for years.
The smaller units have lost union members due to disgust about the way they have been treated.We have lost the urge to unite,because it makes no difference what we think.
The pay issue I'm sure will have a pension reform carrot dangling from it somewhere.
A bit more equality pay wise would be nice,as we do an important job as well.In fact the way things are going in this industry,our little meaningless Band 2 unit will become more and more important.All these airlines going T
ts up,but we support the oil industry.It's booming and you Band 5 boys will have a lot less to do.
