I agree with Area52. This offer is just as crap as the initial offer. Don't management understand the words 'ONE year pay deal, NO STRINGS ATTACHED'. Even if its a 2 year deal, how about 5% each year, end of message. None of this, 'we'll give you this then, a little sweetner for the ATCO's then, bit more then....'. And yes, 1.8% just before the next battle commences, we're not that stupid. Overtime, I actually would LOVE to do overtime, and the price is very tempting, HOWEVER, get screwed. I really could do with the money, but I aint selling myself out now for it to become compulsary in 3 years time as it'll be a 'standard practice'. Where I could fit any in is another matter, all my free time is normally spent feeling totally crap trying to get fit for the next duty. I'm expecting that this will come back to a vote and that the union aren't stupid enough to accept it on our behalf, so as I, like many others down here can just say NO.
