Anotherthing,
Top post....you've just about hit the nail on the head with every point there.
I think people should consider, too, that as well as destroying our pension, voting this piece of rubbish in will leave us totally dead in the water when it comes to any future negotiation over ANY change to our t & c. Theres a lot at stake here and the figures don't tell the whole story.
I'd also like to reiterate the point to those outside of NERL that NONE of us, certainly nobody I work with anyway, thinks that we should shaft NSL as a way of getting what we want. The Union rep who told you PF and PH guys and gals that NERL doesn't give a s**t about you is totally out of order. If anything, we are more concerned because fattening you guys up for a potential sale makes us ALL weaker in the long run.
Unite and vote NO.
