My no was posted this morning.
Quite frankly, paying the huge dividend was the last straw. And when the company can pay thousands of pounds for aeroplane pictures in the new Scottish centre (check the A380 out - very impressive), and pay bonuses out to those who tell us to save and save, whilst collecting their own huge bonuses - then those of us who actually keep the company business ticking over deserve better. Simple as that.
And before anyone says get in the real world....why? When the rich in our company get richer we get an abysmal pay deal, job cuts, altered T&Cs and the spectre of enforced redundancy looming large over the engineering and ATSA staff.
I'd accept the deal without reservation if it applied across the board and we weren't still splashing out money on the whims of management.
And let me tell you, I would not hesitate in taking industrial action should the ATSA staff, or any other group of my colleagues, be forced into needless redundancy.....
