What econonmic reality is that then??? The reality that I stand to be up to £10k out of pocket by the time I retire?? It may be a better scheme than other companies have, I couldn't really give a monkeys, £10k is STILL £10k FFS!! And thats per year. And all this while NATS has been spunking money left, right and centre on pointless initiatives and award ceremonies..."Well done, you spent all day looking at photo of the day and drinking Tazo Chai Latte...have a free evening on the company all expenses paid". THAT is the reality of life in NATS.
I'm a NO voter... but this is absolute trash
You don't stand to lose out on £10k a year. I don't think we should accept the changes, but statements like that are just as bad, if not worse, than the crap we're being fed about this being our only hope. You'd stand to be £10k per year worse off
if we received salary increases of at least RPI+1.5% every year from now till your retirement.
That just is not going to happen I'm afraid. What I've heard recently is that flat RPI is the best we can hope for short term. If the rumoured deflation occurs then a complete pay freeze will be likely (still and increase in real terms).
As for the childish rubbish aimed at non Ops staff... YAWN
Vote NO though... This is not the best deal possible.
