In recent history, our pay rises have not really gone much over RPI + 0.5% anyway, nor do I expect they will be more than that in the near future.
Chances are that if they did... Say we got RPI + 1%, I would imagine the 0.5% that would be non-pensionable would end up being paid as a lump sum. Nice and simple.
In general... It looks like a complete cave-in by the TUs. They are now proposing to us the same proposal NATS made to them that they threatened strikes over.... How does that work?
