Not Funny
OK it would appear we agree on somethings;
I don't remember being balloted re: industrial action over PPP - in fact I was told we couldn't do it due legislation surrounding industrial action and the reasons for it - I must confess I don't understand. However given the option I am sure many ATCO's would have taken action over PPP - may be even more than now as many will not act over pay.
I feel your discussion with Expeditedecent re: work related pay is a little strange on both sides. I agree we should have been rewarded in line with growth over the past X years to reflect our increased workload. I do not agree with pay related to production. It is a fine divide - we are not responsible for the number of A/C we move - we just do our best and work harder and harder as the industry grows, we're back to good will again and extending validations . Training and other duties. This is not productivity based pay as I feel it would be moraly wrong to be paid per number of A/C moved as this leads to corner cutting - something we must not be encouraged to do.
I think we should have been rewarded in line with growth to reflect our added commitment and effort - I can see where you are both coming from though.
It may be then - if you are happy in Scotland with a considerably higher standard of living that we in the south both at LATCC and NERC should receive a pay increase to equal your stanadard of living in a form not too different to the London weighting - may be then we would all be happy.
See Ya
