Thoris, but lets not forget of your earnings over 30% extra has also gone into your pension. For some reason in your calculations you don't see it as money received so I wonder if you would you miss it if it was taken away or reduced?
You need public opinion on your side so why not give the proper figures. In your case for example, what are your projected retirement benefits, death in service or disability benefits?
Averages forget it. What's a 25 year old on? What's a 42 year old (red) on? What's a person close to retirement on? Don't be shy.
Then, why are you the second highest paid (by a long shot) ATCO's in Europe? What do you have to do that is different from your less well paid conterparts in other countries?
I sincerely hope there will be something in the agreement next week that prevents you lot holding a country to ransom like you did last Wed.
