Mr777 -
I'm in two minds about the bung - it was a small amount (relatively, when you are talking about pensions), and it's only really now that the vote has come in that we can sit back and say we've lost out on £1900 for doing nothing.
I think the 'No' voters would still have voted 'No' because they know £1900 is a piddling amount compared to what could be
potentially lost annually in when someone retires in 16 or 17 years time.

Thanks for publishing the figures. What NATS management will take away from this more than anything else is not the fact that it was a 'Yes' vote, but that such a huge number of people couldn't even be bothered to return a prepaid envelope which concerns such huge amounts of money.
By havqing such a large number of no responses, Management now know that they can do whatever they want to us
Christ, whatever you wanted to vote, you should at least have sent the bloody form back in... those who didn't, why are you even bothering being a memebr of the Union?? (I know a handful of people did not receive ballot papers - they are obviously not included in my rant).
As an aside - it would be interesting to know how many members actually didn't receive a ballot paper,but unfortunately we will never know.
