correct - there will always be people who do AAVAs - we would not even be able to get agreeemtn across the board to stop doing them out of protest.
The only sensible solution is to change the rates - i.e. bring them up to date. Maybe then management might look to staff operational tasks appropriately and not through AAVAs.
But of course, the Union won't have the balls, nor the gumption, to re-negotiate AAVAs - that would take time and effort and it seems that doing the minumum is what goes nowadays.
Pensions and pay deal has to be negotiated, otherwise no doubt they would just be left to rune their course as well.
