My comments on 5milesbaby's post were relating to the rambling and incoherent nature of it rather than the content.
I do not believe that NATS is responsible for sheltering us from tax rises. HOWEVER- when the government increases VAT on goods and services it has a direct result on the rpi. The price of those goods and services increase and therefore so does the rpi. I do not appreciate being called simplistic or naive so would suggest union reps and those higher up in the union stop assuming the membership is of a lower intellect than themselves. An argument could be quite easily made that those who seek these posts do so for their own self advancement within NATS rather than any kind of altruistic desire to help the workforce. ( not in all cases I may add but we can all name many individuals who fit this profile) .
