Lady logic or wind up
You blokes do make me smile.
If a new contractor took over the Birmingham or Gatwick ATC contract, TUPE (Transfer of Undertaking {Protection of Employment}) would ensure that all salaries and terms and conditions were replicated.Pensions are not covered so the lovely NATS final salary (for those still privileged) would be replaced by a money purchase scheme.But, it would be similar.
ALL of the ATCOs on the unit would transfer.Where else could they go ?NATS don’t have spare vacancies and most ATCOs have deep roots and families which want to remain in the respective area.
There has never been an unsuccessful transfer of ATC contracts (Don’t count Boscombe – that was a disgraceful stitch up).All transfers have involved the majority of ATCOs transferring.
