Okay anotherthing, I accept on the issue of NERL voting on MET I was wrong. When I was at a union briefing a few weeks ago, that was what I was told might happen. Did you read my post on unit grading?
As I said a few days ago my no vote isn't tactical at all. It is a no vote against a continuation of a shabby pay scheme with no closing of gaps or no justification for pay disparity.
Back to the current vote:
What would be the next move if NSL said "No?" Bearing in mind it can't be acertained whether the rejection was for the MET or the pay. Are the other votes counted? How can the BEC formulate a strategy for negotiation if they can't be sure why NSL have rejected the proposal?
