unfortunately the scaremongering tactic will be used again. They are already saying the new pension is all but unaffordable... 2 months after it was voted in. If they can't even plan financially 2 months ahead, the scaremongering may be correct, because such poor planning ability will cause this company to fail...
We do well in normal times because of the virtual monopoly we have, but when it comes to running NATS properly, like a savvy business, our management don't have a clue.
Still sending large groups of people on 2 day junkets to expensive hotels, yet bleating about the finances - it's not rocket science, i'm just surprised so many staff and the union are taken in by it.
Never mind, the Union is 'exasperated' - maybe by December we will have managed to get management to agree to discuss pay, obviously the dates of those discussions will need to be finalised... sometime in 2010???
