May be it is yukspeak...but it's true. You only have to look at what they have done to the ATSA EFD training package to see what "customer focus" looks like.

FFS YES!!! And so is the meagre £100 - £150 per attendance I mentioned for ATSAs. But as you want all of the cake, that is why everyone else suffers...or haven't you noticed!

PCS Vote

Figures are approximate

To Reject the offer: 80%
To Accept the offer: 20%

Turnout: 75%

By my reckoning that's 60% of the membership voted to reject the offer and only 16% voting to accept.
