The word from the union briefings held over the past week or so, is that the union are going to re-introduce AAVAs (not that they have actually gone yet. They have only given notice to withdraw from the agreement)
This is not what was said at the meeting I was at, almost the opposite in fact. The agreement will end. Suggest you go to a meeting, or at least ask a rep directly.

Thanks - interesting news that, here is a link BBC News - Arriva Trains Wales strike under way

and from that page...
The union has accused the company of paying Welsh drivers less than their English counterparts
Could we substitute welsh for scottish??! Either way, it would seem that RPI + 1 and a bit is acceptable to other managements in the current climate. Come on NATS, sort it out, it could save you £££'s (in fines due to delays this summer!) its not like all of that is pensionable just now is it???
