Standby for UAE Center's increase. The Contract Manager.... no, let's not go there. So put your hands up for a budget busting 3%, maybe.
Anybody here able to provide a contact number for Aston Martin UAE?

Save a prayer for us - the poor relations here in AUH tower and approach...
we are currently the lowest paid in gulf area and looking forward to :
3% increase this year if you have been a good boy....
and...
14 people (icluding the serco controllers, serco engineers and serco met guys) are getting evicted from their apartments on 1st march!
Thank god the area guys are being informed of progress (and can pass news on to us) cos trying to get any information all from the contract manager/mangement for the twr/app contract is like talking to Marcel Marso....
No news of any kind on offer....I hope the two new swedish controllers on the way here like camping cos thats all they will be able to afford with the housing allowance we are offered!

Just to clarify, Muscat controllers are going to receive another 15% on top of their recent adjustment but that 15% is a general increase given to all government employees here in Oman as part of His Majesty's largesse to all and sundry. It was not a negotiated wage hike.
Hope you all get your increases soon, and decent ones at that. We are valuable at the mo.

Dubai housing allow
Hi. The Dubai housing allow. The rate you get, is it still dependent of your marital status, eg married with kids, married, single etc. Serco still using the divide and rule principle.
What would allow be for single guy or gal.

Newbie western controllers are looking at RO3,000 per month but I'm not sure if they'll get the 15% general increase. As I indicated before, it all depends on where you come from and the negotiations you make on behalf of yourselves. Not everyone is on the same contract.
The other figure mentioned is about right for long-timers here. Haven't got it just yet and don't even know the exact figure.
One recent "fix" they've done,too, is to recompense people who work standbys with a days leave if they don't get called out and two days if they do. Used to get nothing for an uncalled standby and one day for a call out ie nothing. Things are on the improve.

New Govt Pay Increase.
I see in the Local News that Govt Employees are to get 20% pay increase.
Guess that means Serco has screwed you again by only giving you 8-10% for this year. Unless any body thinks Uncle Erics arms are suddenly going to grow soon. Must be tough training the locals now when they get about 40-50% more for doing the same job. Well done Serco......... The class system is alive and well.

Is that true?
