since we let them have a payment holiday with guarantees of "this wouldnt happen", management within nats have been as i hear too busy to deal with the pension problem. Funnily enough Mr Baron and Co. have no problem providing time when share prices plummeted so as to enable them to provide the doom and gloom over our pension. This should have been sorted out earlier is our money for our union wasted?
We have been a profitable company in the past few years how much of this is down to us letting them reduce pension payments or no contributions at all for three years?
I am sorry but for me its a no vote to the pension changes but we need a majority and i am not sure who i trust on counting votes. After our union's last vote was for one pension mandated by us (the people who pay for them) what the hell are they doing.
I am willing to give up a days pay or more and even chance the company going bust and losing my job. Its all wrong we are being beaten down bit by bit, if we let this go ahead what happens at the next pension review? and the next and so on, eventually us dumb idiot frontline staff will have to pay for the privilege of doing our jobs i didnt get into this job with all that tedious training and have all this responsibility to live worse off than some other less difficult jobs pension when and if i reach 60 probably 70 when i get there
p.s. no need to go as far as middle east eurocontrol do a pension equal to ours with international private medical care for life thrown in if our pension changes i am sure i can swap a bit of ale for bagguettes and boulangeries, schnitzels or belgian beer !
p.s. whats the rule on getting a new union? one with a set of (if you read the humour page) FAST EAGLES???
