member votes
heard a rumour today that due to differing subscrition rates for prospect that atco's at band 5 units votes will count as 1.5 votes in any future ballots and band 4 1.4 etc down to band 1 units. seems a good idea but what do others think.
Says it all.

I hope you are kidding!
If you actually consider your vote more important than that of an airfield etc, than get back to TRM and take that broom out of your behind. If you earn more, you pay more, thats how unions work. But they also work as 1 vote 1 member, I hope.
Down South has numbers to force through most issues but any greater advantage because of where you live willl make it pointless for anyone else to vote!
Realise that, at other units we work as hard(and pick up your slack when you need to close sectors). The airfields also are busting a gut. The assistants, engineers, admin etc all work to the best of their ability and all deserve the same kudos.
Band 5, band 4 or whatever stop trying to split us apart unit by unit.

not convinced
dances with sheep- I hear what you are saying but surely you get what you pay for so therefore if I pay more than you I should be entitled to a more valuable vote.

I've had an even better idea. As Flower says all NATS ATCOs pay the same subscription rate to Prospect. That means that the Band One units pay a greater proportion of their monthly salary in Union dues so they should have thier votes increased in worth while Band 5 units should have their representation reduced!!
There are less women ATCOs across the company so all females should have their voting power increased. And what about redheads? Shouldn't they have the same voting power as blondes and brunettes......(hair colour to be determined by appearance in the College Course Photograph)

IFAXU.... went fishing, and look what he caught.
A wind up, and not too subtle.
The principle in PROSPECT (and most other democratic orgainisations) remains ONE man (person) ONE vote.
