Well the usual source hasn't been on trumpeting what a thumping good deal 0.2% is and what a good job the negotiators have done sooooooooo that's an indication that things are looking even grimmer than usual. :cuppa

Problem is with the 10% shares to staff and the spin they'll put on what we might get paid from it/quote]

Can I suggest that they call them 'Colleague Shares'?

The union are again talking about an incentive scheme - well I'm not for the jam tomorrow, like the colleague share scheme from which we garnered FA. I'm all for a jam today scheme - a straight pay rise without any strings attached.

spot on , extra money in your pocket every week . we had Ray Ellis at our Annual General meeting on Sunday and he said its going to be a hard negotiation this year. apparently the top RM management are not interested in the 3 year Business Transformation agreement they had with the union anymore but are firmly in Privatisation mode .
