Yes you can....................and further more you should!!

Especially given the profits that NATS are making

Assume you have been to your drugs and alcohol briefing! Guess your not at work for a day or two!
Actually no... 5miles is 100% correct. The negotiated pay increase is a cost-of-living increase. Tax is a completely seperate issue.

you can't just lump everything you don't like together and then demand someone does something about it... It's a rather simplisitc and naive attitude.

If we voted in a Scandanavian style government and started to pay up to 63% tax, as in Denmark for example, then you wouldn't see employers doubling salaries to make up for it - you'd just expect better services to tax payers in return.

Really, there is a very strong argument as to why NATS should pay a fair pay increase to staff... Don't spoil it.
