Another one who believes what they read in the press! It's not a pay rise, it's a one off lump sum. How do I know? Cos I'm a member of the RMT & know exactly what was offered!
What pay rise? All they offered this year was a £500 lump sum before tax & 0% pay rise. All they're asking for is a pay rise this year, not what is effectively, a pay cut. Next years deal for this year would be a start.
