But why wouldn't that irk you. If you entered a salary negotiation with the impression that a perk with a very clear monetary value was going to continue and hence accepted a lower salary as a consequence why wouldn't that be an issue? Removal of perks can be an backdoor means for an employer to implement pay cuts mid-contract. Too many people are willing to accept a race to the bottom in this country in pay and conditions. It's farcical that we're so willing to bend over and take it up the arse. I might post on this matter later.
But the club have said they will be compensated in other ways
From the club statement on the issue.
"In order to fund enhancements of existing staff benefits or introduce wider, more flexible benefits it may be necessary to amend the way in which staff access season cards. In addition to financial compensation, staff would also have the opportunity to purchase season tickets at a discounted rate."
Seems like no-one is going to lose anything. I suppose if not every member of staff wants to receive ST's then they now have the choice.
