Is there any firming up on these dates?

I know that no LTB has been released yet but is there any indication as to when the decision to hold the YES/NO ballot is going to be made? The precise dates will affect me as I intend taking NRA60 benefits in early April. Staggering to see that the decision on this deal is nearly 2 months away. Lord knows when any back-pay is forthcoming especially if there is a NO vote!

I'd hold off leaving until you get all back pay owing from October and to secure your next tranche of employee shares, which will be yours to keep by the end of April. 729 in total but alas, not tax free til October.

The 2016 allocation (and all previous years' allocations) total 913 for me will be mine to keep as I will be classed as a 'good leaver' so long as I resign/retire on or after my 60th birthday. Yes if back-pay is not forthcoming by me 60th then I will hold on until such date as it does.

I believe the admin guys will set up a poll on this site closer to the time of the official ballot. Really hard to predict which way it will go this time. All the previous strike ballot results I have seen were low turnout and not far off 50/50. But as you know the strike ballot this time before Christmas was high turnout and high percentage in favour of industrial action. Literally around the world everyone has had enough. RM have pushed us all too far now. It's a question of whether a pile of cash is attractive still as usual or we take a stand.

You won't be getting any back pay anytime soon if there is a no vote I remember people saying they would bet there house on a remain vote for brexit and look what happened there

Ive noticed that too , people selling their souls for a few hundred quid ! Think about your future T&C and not about a few quid today !

Well I want to leave RM, can't stand them. Just wainting for this cash.

Re Brexit: Depends where you live. Everyone here in the Midlands was adamant we would leave and did.
