Don't know who Luton Radar could be farmed out to though...
LIDL!
But seriously totally agree with your previous point about when radar moved to WD some staff moved to ATCO2, as it was then, when those who stayed behind got left on ATCO3. Really unfair as most of those who were left behind had no choice in the matter. Banding is very divisive especially give the diffence between top of scale.
Band 1 > Band 2 = approx £1500 difference at the top
Band 2 > Band 3 = approx £1500 difference at the top
Band 3 > Band 4 = approx £12000 difference at the top
Band 4 > Band 5 = approx £15000 difference at the top
Please note that these are from memory so If I'm slightly wrong please don't shoot me. The principle is the important thing.
Those who say so what NSL is screwed, need to remember that a lot of NSL is paying more than is required for support services due to the poor way things are set up. Also NSL is the only part that is supposed to make a profit, so while NERL has had a very long golden period, it is at an end now, and they are going through the period of trying to make a lean operation that NSL went through a couple of years ago.
Those who seek to have differential pay awards need to really think it through.
But I'd still like Augusts' RPI +1%.
