And all the yes voters who are asking for alternatives...here's one...rather than a pensionable earnings cap, what about a 15 year paydeal of RPI+0.5%??? Would you vote for this?!? It has the exact same effect as the pensionable earnings cap in terms of letting actuaries more accurately calculate underlying rates, and apparently the union have repeatedly asked the management for this instead
if this is true, then it adds even more to the 'NO' argument; butit should come as no surprise that NATS would want to be obstructive!
I think what NATS want to do is screw the pension, then try to give us poor pay deals on top - otherwise as you say, a 15 year pay deal of RPI+0.5%
(or in these days of credit crunch best say a pay deal of either 0.5% or RPI+0.5%, whichever is greater), with it all being pensionable, is quite attractive.
