Thank you for clearing that up...I just took the complete figure and converted it into £s....which still isn't bad I guess (not knowing anything about Dubai cost of living etc.).
Me me me me
Point taken re Union reps and having confidence in them. As for the pay talks I think we really need to push for at least RPI now as an absolute minimum. Bank of England expect inflation to drop to 1% next year and possibly below so if we are to get anything tangible in monetary terms out of this deal it needs to be based on the August figures for this year. Thoughts on another 3 year deal?? I say no...what does anyone else think?
The management may well turn round and say that the economic climate has changed but they'll just have to suck it up as we have had to do with the pension.
