The cap is not as big an issue as the new scheme being implemented.
As soon as a new scheme starts, our scheme is on death row.
The union answers to questions about the future viability of the current scheme in a few years (eg 15) were poor and evasive to say the least.
A two tier workforce is going to cause massive problems for us when it comes to vote time again in 15 years about removing the cap or whatever is in place at the time.
Since this process started, having spoken to people at work who have spoken to people at work etc etc etc, i now believe this will be a close vote but will turn out yes.
If a no vote wins, Nats will bring in all the proposals anyway.
Then we would be looking at a vote for industrial action. That won't pass.
I am bored with this fight now because I think we have already lost.
vote no, for all the good it will do.
