I heard a rumour a couple of hours ago that they are still going! Hopefully some resolution tonight. Either there will be a deal we can vote on, recommended by the BEC or we will be in dispute. As I understand it they are the only two possible outcomes. If the result is dispute then we will see how the grumbling masses really feel. The membership have taken our union to task in recent years for rolling over too easily. If, as it seems they have grown pair then it will be our turn.
It's one thing to whine about all the unions failings but it will be quite another thing if it comes to a fight.
I hope that there will be a suitable offer on the table today but somehow I doubt it.
If there is a dispute or an offer that gets a no vote then it will get nasty very quickly.
It sounds corny but it is true. United we stand, divided we fall. NATS are past masters at divide and conquer so lets buckle up for a bumpy ride.
