I dont know what i'm more disappointed about. The fact that it is a Yes vote, or the fact that such a large amount of atco's either couldn't be arsed or didn't think it was sufficiently important enough to vote on!! That both saddens and sickens me. This was THE issue. The one issue that everyone has always said would get them out of the door, their pension was sacred and yet such a large percentage didn't vote!!!.
I'm afraid that the way i feel at the moment is so disillusioned with the whole thing. i think i will now join the disinterested ranks.It doesnt seem to make a difference. I dont feel the union any longer represents me and the issues that are important to me. I feel they have been quite aggressive in their targeting of this deal and they have gotten the result they wanted. My only interest in union membership from this point on will be the legal backup provided.
For those that voted yes, congratulations
For my fellow no voters, commiserations , we tried our best.
And for those who couldn't be arsed to vote at all
shame on you
