The govt either don't understand or don't care as majority shareholder.
I received a letter from mark hoban (my mp) who forwarded on a reply he got from the dept for transport to my questions and comments he sent about a month ago:
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your letter dated 20th oct addressed to Geoff Hoon enclosing correspondance from your cinstituent, Imnotaneric, address, hampshire regarding the NATS pension scheme. I am replying as I have ministerial responsibility for Aviation.
The proposal jointly developed by NATS and the NATS trade union side (NTUS) for the reform of the NATRS pension scheme is a matter for the company.
I can advise you that the company, and the NTUS, have parallel consultation processes in place with employees and members respectively, which they have just started this week. Your constituent should ensure they take full advantage of the opportunity afforded by the consultations, to seek clarification, raise questions and make their views known both to NATS and to their TU representative.
Should you have further questions about the consultation process, may I suggest you write to NATS at 4000 parkway, Whiteley, Fareham, PO14 7FL, either to richard churchill-coleman who is general counsel and company secretary or to jane johnston who is head of external communications.
yours sincerely,
Jim Fitzpatrick
I shall be writing to Jim directly soon and re-iterate my comments regarding the union operating without a mandate, and the promises NATS employees were made pre privitisation.If Anyone has got anything specific they want me to add (keep it clean), pm me or write yourself.
