their quote of a modest offer of 1.25% is certainly an insult as especially as this was offered being non-pensionable
Management have already been allowed to degrade our pension... we let them.
I remember, just a few months, ago that the 'yes' men all claimed on here that a cap on pensionable pay rises would not be much of a burden to the employees as any chance of a rise greater than RPI+ 0.5% in the next few years was minimal.
Now that we've bent over and taken it, management are trying to wriggle out of even more pension payments.
Good work chaps, I hope the union really stand firm this time, it's long overdue that they do.
