Whilst I believe that we are all doomed since we voted yes to the dodgy pension proposal that the unions should never even have entered negotiations on, let alone recommended, and we are still waiting for the MOU to be signed, I will not be handing in my Prospect membership. The reason being that if all the "no" voters leave the union because they don't think it's worth being a member any more, guess who's left? Answer - all the "yes" voters and that's too scary to comprehend, I still want a vote and a voice even if I'm in the 40% minority.
I just wish that all the "yes" voters hadn't been so short-sighted as to think that all we were voting on was the pension. Management used the pension vote as a "dip test" to check out whether we would crumble if they tried to reduce the benefit that we said we would never let them touch. Now they have seen that we fell at the first fence, they will be brimming with confidence that they can do anything to us with enough scare-mongering and threats, and to be honest it disappoints me to believe that they probably can.
T&Cs R.I.P.
