It is fact of life that most companies would choose someone who is photogenic for such things, irrespective of how representative she (usually) is. But surely there are people on here who know her?
Can I as an interested outsider, confirm my understanding:
The offer on the table is not acceptable to most of the posters on here. How representative that is of NATS in general I cannot say
If you vote no, the management cannot impose it. What per cent do management need? 50%? or do they need more to impose it on everyone?
Therefore surely the Union is right not to endorse a strike if you vote no - there would be no need for one. You strike to achieve a new deal, not the package you will have if you do nothing
Therefore it would be down to the management to make the next move (new offer, approach government, whatever)
What happened to the engineering redundancies? That seems to have been forgotten
