We haven't really been mobile since the CAA took over from the Dept of Trade.
Unfortunately this is not what our contract of employment says. We are a negotiated grade and therefore the Employee Handbook and any other agreements made with the Trade Union on our behalf (e.g WPP) form each individual ATCO and ATSAs contract or terms and conditions of employment.
Apart from a small list of grades in the Employee Handbook (which do
not include ATCOS and ATSAs),
all other NATS employees are liable for transfer to any part of the British Isles in the course of their employment.
In the event that you are offered a post in another part of the country, then refusing to move would probably not give you grounds for redundancy. You have agreed to be liable for transfer and the company is exercising that clause. If you didn't move, then you may in fact be effectively resigning.
250Kts talks a lot of sense and reality on this issue.
