Just had a quick peek at the website
ATCOs.co.uk - looks good.
On the pay update it talks about a
blended RPI. I think most people will, however reluctantly, agree that this is inevitable - how far the blending goes in favour of management is another argument.
However, this
blended RPI had better not be forgotten when we are faced with the reverse situation we are in now i.e. when the times comes that we have a low Aug RPI and pay negotiations begin whilst costs are rising.
Management should be left in no doubt that in that circumstance, we would not be willing to accept the low offer and thatblending would need to take place.
However, knowing how they work any pay deal will be quickly hammered out during low RPI years - much to the benefit of management.
