Same deal offered. Just the wording changed.
If it goes to referendum I will reject it.
5% to be made redundant unless I agree to be fucked out of any work life balance so a hedge fund masquerading as a public company can increase dividends is a huge FUCK OFF from me.

Great British railways bill has been "shelved" until this dispute is finished.
The document they want us to agree to is a bonfire of contractual and collective bargaining rights. It's written in such a way that "consultation" will last for 3 months and then imposed if there's no agreement.
The wording of it could argue that any future strikes called can be blocked in court because the union agreed to the document.
It's a big fuck off trap.
Great British Railways (only available in England) will be sold as "renationalised public railway" will be run by a hedge fund company on a "management contract"
The plan is few "multi skilled" staff on permanent contracts "At major stations", with lower rates of pay and fuck all work/life balance.
Peak travel; such as national sporting events/holiday resorts will be covered by 3 month contracts or agency staff on minimum wage.
The whole thing hasn't been thought through by any fucker who understands the railway industry. It's a political document intent on destroying union power.
Company emails are bombarding us falsely claiming it's a 13% pay for very little changes to contracts and demanding we tell our union we want a referendum to accept. Neglecting to mention that all contracts will change as per the terms in the document if agreed.
If head office agrees to this. It's not only the members that are fucked it's the union as well.

Glad they voted it down, the deal would have done nothing for retention and recruitment which are big if not the biggest problem the nhs has

So, the RCN leaders supported the offer yet their people didn’t?
Probably said more about their leaders not really being in touch with what’s really going on in the nursing sector.

I'm wondering if some of these leaders have been leaned on.So, the RCN leaders supported the offer yet their people didn’t?

Funny how the government always wants union leaders to put their crappy offers to the members.So, the RCN leaders supported the offer yet their people didn’t?

They’ll be looking at it from all sides and probably thinking they’re doing the best but I’d bet there’s an element of them siding up to the government.I'm wondering if some of these leaders have been leaned on.
