Worth startng a campaign now... we should make it clear to the Union that any pay rise we receive (and we had better get one) has to be pensionable up to the limit
as agreed and requested by management in the recent Pension Ballot.
No 1.25% non-pensionable malarky
Firstly, 1.25% is a joke.
Secondly, pensionable up to the RPI+0.5% limit, or else.
No bleating about the current economic situation when it comes to pensionable portion of any pay rise - pensions are long term investments.
Our powder is chuffing dry
edited after Vote No added the 2.5% bit.
That's a hell of a jump 1.25% non pensionable to 2.5% in the space of a fortnight and one set of talks. How much is really available if we play hardball.
Chances are the union will swallow it hook line and sinker though.
