You say the offsets aren't much, but why are there any at all?
If they want the 18 month pay freeze, which is already a massive give from us, why should we give anything extra in return? That IS the offset. The pay freeze looks more and more ridiculous every day that goes by. You really think other unions negotiating their agreements next year following a $1bn profit announcement are going to agree to a pay freeze?
If they are willing to drop their ideologically driven Pay Freeze mantra, then we can discuss offsets.
That's my line in the sand. Another NO from me.
