So, effectively, apart from an RPI increase (not a pay rise at all, and do not forget all the years of RPI increasing without any pay rise whatsoever - how far behind have salaries fallen in the last decade plus? I'll tell you, more than you have "gained" today) the essence of this new improved offer is what?
An extra six hours when you have two days off.
How about we just roster you all 6/3/6/3/6/3/6/3/6/3/6/3/6/3/6/3? No gain.
Oh, wait. You will still be rostered just as many standbys as you are now although you may lose a few of these the day before. Why not use available days? You can't have that because you'll have more than the golden 108 days off per year. By the way my nominated contact period for a SDD would be 2100 - 0000Z...ha!
It's not bad but it could be a LOT better.
I hope you all stick it out even more. There is more to be had and you still won't break the bank.
