And that's just why we have to make the differential worth moving for.
We should be getting the Additional Attendances factored into WPP for LACC so EVERYONE has to do a few extra days BUT the reward is,say, an extra £8000 on the basic salary.
Doing it that way ensures that there will not be so much anymosity(as there will be) to the ones who do it and also that the days are properly monitored. We all know what happened last year with SRATCOH etc.
Also doing it in this way encourages both sides to resolve the problem asap and there is a definite end date to the additional duties. As it stands at present this will go on into the Summer of 2004 without further negotiation
There is also the issue of nights being equally rostered. Just imagine that your mate volunteers for the AVA.I don't think they will get nights just in case they are needed. No, voluntary days are not the way to go and have some major problems attached.
The major advantage to this is the money is there in peoples' salaries for good and if NATS need to extend the deal then they will have to cough up again in the future when the deal is extended.
It would also get away from, say, a guy in his 50's knackering himself out doing upto 20 days extra just to boost the pension-assuming he lives long enough to see it of course.
