UK - NATS Pay negotiations - latest rumours

[ToweringCu]

Average pay rise this year in the private sector is 2.5 percent, pay freeze for most public sector workers. Maybe we should compare our pay deals with those figures rather than RPI.

But NATS staff are not average.
According to the NATS website, they are "global leaders".

ToweringCu - most of those private sector organisations haven't made the profits that NATS have. And none are ATS providers. So you really can't make a comparison. It's like comparing chalk to cheese.

The Manchester Group awarded it's ATCOs a 2.5% rise this year.

AVERAGE RPI over the 12 months to August 2011

The Manchester Group awarded it's ATCOs a 2.5% rise this year.

Did the Manchester Group make over £100m in profit this year and pay tens of millions in shareholder dividends?

I knew my no vote would be like pissing into the wind!!! just as well I'm out of here in another 3 years....feel sorry for the folk with a few years left to do.......this is only the start of the sh1t from up above, but then again if the workforce are happy to accept the crap then hell mend them!!!

I'm with you fis, we have just condemned ourselves...and by quite a large majority too.

The membership have failed to grasp that they are in a well paid job that will give them a decent pension. In ten years time (when we are all up to our necks in dry powder) they'll be wondering why they did not stand up and fight for this when they receive very average salaries and a mediocre pension.

At least now the offer has been accepted no one will be made compulsorily redundant...and if you believe that!!!

September RPI 5.6%
