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,
Achieve or ask for? There is a big difference and I can't believe any union rep would ever
assure anyone in such a cast-iron way,especially with the state of the economy.
It is a rumour network though and so a good first attempt to stir things up by rumouroid.
