Accept what we've been offered and take stock of how far forward we have moved.
Lets take stock of just how far forward you've come then.
1. Ummmm,
2. Errrrrrrrrrrr,
3. A pay rise that isn't,
4. A pay rise that is less than Balpa originally asked for,
5. No extra bank holidays, unlike the rest of the company.
6. What else?
If you're satisfied with
that after a year and a half of negotiations what on earth will you be happy with after 6 months or a year, or however long the next lot takes?!
I don't think we would achieve much more by agreeing strike action.
Wanna bet?
JF will not want you to strike, or even any less aggressive forms of IA. You will get a better offer if you keep pushing.
You deserve it. Don't sell yourselves short.
