I've a wee problem here, not only do I not fancy the cut in pension (using their figures) proposed, but a MOU/legal contract - who cares? Our pension as it stands is supposed to have an Act of Parliament protecting it, that isn't stopping management at the moment, what makes any MOU any different?
I'd like an answer from that from those that accept the changes and MOU, I'm genuinely intrigued how this "promise" is any better than the last one. Are you willing to accept further changes 7 years down the line?
This is about pensions, it's also about showing some unity, we're talking an NSL sell-off here, then the same for NERL and god knows what will be left of our T&C's if we roll over to this. Think about this for one moment, there is no campaign to fight this yet it seems the massive and concerted campaign by NATS and our (ha) union to persuade us to accept this isn't exactly running into placid acceptance is it?
If we had someone (a union perhaps) to coordinate a campaign to fight these changes, we'd probably be home and dry by now. Shame on Prospect, just received my magazine today - nice to see they'll fight for some pensions but not ours
PS The only option I'll accept is the pension I've got today.
