The email was up to 22 Vr's in the ATSA grade at Swanwick TC/AC of which a stampede is expected. Curious thing is though how can this progress, as overtime is still going on within the AC ops room even in winter. This is surely a sticking point which the unions should follow up on. Or is it a case of out with the old.....4 months later bring in new personel as short staffed and on a "contract" and no pension liabilities.
Now.... i can't remember nats laying atsas off to recruit 4 months later....
bit like the economy, cyclycle and people never learn.
Oh and a way to save money. ..the 2 new director post RB has added, and 5 Safety managers along with the WM's cut to 2 each.(being kind)......that would save ...(directors £120k+pension cont= £150k each(conservative guess) 3 safety managers +3 WM's £100k+pension cont... low and behold £1.05m not a bad start and would not be missed. Some might say 5 WM's and Safety managers= even bigger savings
