I have been reading all these threads and NATSnet with rising fury regarding this sorry pension debate. I want to know why the NTUS reps agreed to the secrecy clause to protect the "credible" Deloitte and Touche report?? This is OUR pension and we are entitled to see the evidence that has caused such a stir and convinced the NTUS reps that change is required. The secrecy clause was soley to protect Deloitte from come back if they got it wrong, again.
We are mature and intelligent people with a very big vested interest in this report. If the report was soooo convincing we should have been able to view it for ourselves and make our own minds up!!.......oh no, the NTUS reps know better, don't they. AGAINST Prospect current branch policy, they entered into negotiations with management and have struck up this deal to be recommended to the staff. WHAT RIGHT do they have???
As mature and intelligent people we should be well able to understand the difference between having a keen interest and having a legal right.
The D&T report is not "ours". It's a commercially sensitive document with legally binding confidentiality clauses.
The legal reason for the secrecy is to protect information about NATS that would be damaging if it were in the public domain. Any company run properly would take such steps to protect its business.
It's a very emotive subject - but it damages the arguments against the deal proposed when the sense of injustice clouds judgement.
