I'm more than happy to discuss this with you privately. I agree there is politics going on here which are unhelpful.
The thing with Staff travel as I’ve explained is it isn’t a COS item and therefore isn’t negotiated. If it was offered at negotiations did the DPA ask if it was going to be part of your COS? If they didn’t then it was a lapse on their part. If they did and it was yes my next question to the company negotiators would have been how can it be when for every other CX group employee it is company policy? Staff travel is company policy and will never be relinquished by the company into any of our COS, period. The DPA’s negotiators should have realised this as soon as it was offered.
