Just to set the record straight, it was Prospect and its ATCO members who reneged on the originally agreed offer after Prospect originally recommended acceptance. NATS Management did not ask the Prospect ATCO Branch to reject the pay offer.........
This whole fxcxixg mess is caused by Prospect ATCOs trying to change their pay and conditions on the back of the annual pay round rather than as a separate working practises negotiation. Surely even an ATCO can grasp the point that the annual pay round is FOR ALL NATS EMPLOYEES not just ATCOs.
Could have been so simple................
