Simply put: ATCOs didn't believe that the pay offer adequately rewarded the demands placed upon OPERATIONAL people and rejected it, against the advice of Prospect. That's called democratic voting, not sheep.
The other union and other branch members may have felt the same thing, but they didn't feel they could reject it for all the reasons put forward at the time.
The result is what you see today. No good whinging now.
It has nothing to do with WP negotiations, which are a separate challenge still ahead.
As I said to ASG, I wish them luck in their present quest, but I feel it is all one stage too late.
