There is no need to withold the AAVA agreement as part of industrial action, the fact of the matter is we are negotiating for a CORE PAY DEAL. AAVA's, Met Obs and anything else are not core pay issues, unless we (foolishly) decide to make them so.
give us a decent pay award based on company performance (the same way that executives get measured), and bearing in mind last years pay freeze.
Then and only then should there be any negotiations on AAVAs etc. They are seperate issues
