you have hit the nail on the head sir. We won't strike over pay, management and our union know it.
The fact that 30% of people couldn't even be arsed to return the pension ballot form says it all.
I think the pay offer is derisory considering all other things alongside it (dividend payment, Barrons latest spiel, reshuffling of jobs in certain departments etc).
However our union, considered weak by many members, has been weakened further by our apathy. They have no clout when it comes to negotiations because management know the membership will roll over and lets it's belly be rubbed.
If only there was another Union option but I think it needs 30% of the workforce to join it to have it recognised...
