Dear me.

That's roughly what I thought but perhaps I wasn't as polite !!

Have a 'like' and a 'funny' for that, made me chuckle

She don't need your £250 she has a big gold one (not gold group) for her last endeavours from screwing us all over!

I agree, the offer is insulting and blatantly aimed at reducing wages not offering a fair rise in line with inflation/rising living costs for hard working staff.
Anyone looking from the outside would in my opinion think RM are spoiling for a fight and deliberately trying to provoke an industrial dispute.

I agree, it seems to me with that proposal, they ARE spoiling for a fight....they WANT us to strike.

strikes in the summer are no good at all. if we wait till august, by the time the ballot gets through and the mandate is put out, and notice given, you are looking at late September and into October,,,, getting on for the Christmas period. which will have them cack their pants.

We all know it's coming, just do it!
The way summer & extra lapsing is now isn't that an ideal time to start?

Thanks for the update Dingo.

"deliberately trying to provoke an industrial dispute", yes, but then what, be patient until we're starved back to work on even worse conditions ?

Fair enough if that is the case but it doesn't say that here.

we just have to hold our nerve and say no and then the shareholders will panic and directors will want to sort it out before next AGM and protect their shares holding.

Most of us have been doing this for years and yet we are still facing the same issues in regard pay, sickness, pensions etc. Just doing the job properly isn't enough any more.

Much better plan than an all out strike IMHO.
