Exactly CR,
There is no way the company would have given a payrise on 1 May 2017 just as they were making 600 people redundant. The ARAPA extension to 2020 would not have been honoured either.
However, here's the kicker. Clause 7 would have survived on, so the GC would be writing to us all recommending against any form of action and anyone putting up a members' motion would have the company's lawyers probing their parts that they don't want probed!!
It's almost like the company were setting us up. Perhaps we dodged a bullet and have done well to keep our industrial weapons intact and limp on to fight another day. However, that "day" will only come once we stop "collaborating".... grrrr....
Assuming of course anyone is left to "fight" or "collaborate" or even "care".
