Let's just make sure we get that 4.8% minimum pay rise in Jan 2009 that the Union said we would. There must be some pot of money available if the rumours of the £1900 bung are true. If there are about 5000 NATS employees and the bung was £1900 then that's £9.5 million. NATS wage bill is about £300 million, so £9.5 million represents 3.15% of the wage bill and so it only leaves another 1.65%, which equates to £4.95 million to find. I reckon that if the Execs don't take the bonus for the new pension scheme they have brought in then that should cover it.
