I cannot, for the life of me, understand why! What "Restrictive Practises" do we have nowadays?
Bealine, I am aware there are hardly any dodgy practices on the ground anymore. I believed that your local representatives were closing on an agreement that was fairly (or as near as its going to be) amicable? Big Unite now seem to be throwing your negotiations in with the failing negotiations of their largest (and therefore most valuable) membership group (BASSA). I cant see how thats going to improve the situation for what you rightly say are our lowest paid staff.
