Don't lecture us about unity when your DPA, and people like yourself are tripping over themselves to defend this indefensible change to staff travel.
Your union, and those that supported Contract Compliance should management not grant you Pri 25 (amongst other things on your wish list), would have known full well that if and when CX granted your request, then all hell would broke loose on our side - which it has. YOU, out of your own self interest and greed, just facilitated management in driving in the wedge.
Had this change just come out of nowhere then yes, we'd still be angry, but with management alone.
Quit the sanctimony about unity and just admit you've had a HUGE undeserved win at our expense.
Have a think about it.
