Let's hope it's worth it. Personally I think we are doomed!

Wow. Did not see that coming.

The press release didn't include what percentage actually voted, though (unless I missed it.)

Lambs to the slaughter. Invest that back-pay wisely as you'll be earning it!

i wonder how many people who said they voted no actually voted yes. what I've been saying all along in the short term money talks. In any walk of live most people are living for the here and now,thats why i think it has been a high yes vote tho id like to see the turn out. I really hope tho they do sort out the issues in deliveries and else where. Ive a lot of friends in delivery. will be interesting to see the actual turn out,could be a reflection of the way society is at the moment. Take the money and run so to speak. either way a no vote or a yes vote and changes would still have happened. Least we are getting a little something for it and a 5 year deal. Other place i.e. doctors,nurses etc- No pay rise,Zero hours contracts. We haven't got that…..yet.

At the figures quoted less than 50% of the members voted but I notice that's not shown! You really can't credit it but it is what it is. Just pulling out and saving myself a few quid.

So how much more pension contribution do we have to pay each week? I take it that will be backdated also???

The disturbing thing is you actually believe you were being asked to increase your contributions. This was never part of any deal.

[pudz1224]

well said dingo

[pudz1224]

is it the 14th or 21st we get the backdated rise?

[FinishOnTime]

Wow, out of all the people bothering to vote, thought more would vote no..
I wonder how many of those voting have actually read the agreement?
