At my pension brief the question was raised as to what pay rise we could expect in Jan 2009, the 2 Prospect reps ASSURED us that the August 2008 RPI figure of 4.8% would be the minimum they would achieve, as the August RPI figure is always used to determine the following years pay rise, and it's always a rise of RPI + X% and never RPI - X%.
So what are we all worried about? Don't we trust the UNION?
