Are you going to let your pensions slip through your fingers and then make a stand over losing 2 days leave? What about 3 days?... 6 days? See here's the figures. Sorry guys we'd love to let you keep the leave, but we just don't have the staff to cover it. See? here's the figures. Can't argue with them can you?

What about UHP? Sorry guys lots of people work strange hours these days...get over yourselves. Sorry, the company can't afford it any more. See? here's the figures. Can't argue with them can you?

Pay rise? what pay rise? Ooooooo no, no, no. We;d love to I assure you, but unfortunately with all this profit we have to make its just not possible this year. Or next year too come to think of it. See? Here's the figures. Can't argue with them can you?

Sick pay? What? You really think the company should pay you when you're not working & generating profit? Have you any idea how much more profit we could make if we didn't have to pay you that? In fact if ATCO's only had statutory sick pay we think they'd be more likely to drag themselves in when unfit for duty and save us having to spend money to cover their absence. See? Here's the figures. Can't argue with them can you?
And once the pension thing is sorted Mangement should be told in no uncertain terms that they can't afford any of the "jewels" you mention.

Can we have a few examples from folk of what they REALISTICALLY think they are going to get as pay rises in the next few years. Is my previously stated £3k/annum so far away from being sensible?
