Got a feeling it's going to be a 'yes' vote judging by the amount of people in my office already planning what to do with the backpay. :roll:

It should be interesting to see how low the turnout is. Apathy is going to be the hands-down winner here.

Good luck if you think you will get a better result without a union.

But we are with the union and we each pay around £130 a year for them

With a two tier workforce the union has never been weaker than it is right now. Encouraging people to leave it is just going to ultimately weaken it further. I don’t get it. We are all better off as a collective together regardless of what you think of this deal. Without a union this next transition in working methods would be even more brutal than it is going to be anyway.

Have your terms and conditions got better? Why pay a fee to end up at the bottom of the downhill race a bit slower?
