"The last 1.8% at the end of 03 is a red herring. The pay deal is 8.2% over 2 years and and extra 1.8% for one month. You can bet your life that when the pay round starts in 04 the first line will be: 'You've just had 1.8%, why are you asking for more already?"
After my extra 1% NI contributions and inflation its hardly worth having - Its a definite no from me as well.
All this overtime at 500 quid a throw is a load of guff as well, obviously geared towards people at Nerc with nothing better to do with their lives.
I reckon the vote will be pretty close though and if the No vote prevails with a slim majority will there be a sufficient mandate for a strike?
