I appreciate I have a job very thankful in the current climate but I’m not happy that the pension I signed for 22 years ago is not being messed around with.
I also find out in a few weeks if there’s going to be any changes to my job, it could mean a pay cut or a huge change in conditions. However, I remain thankful that the job I have provides my family well but I have to work for it.
Finally after that my role is being reviewed again, no this is separate from above this concentrates on my grade not service wide, again my pay could be effect, shift patterns and responsibilities.
So if you think we get a smooth ride then you’re wrong, like any job we are subject to many things effecting it. However, what we do have is those that will stand up and say this is wrong and fight for it not whine get on with it anyway or move jobs for the same to happen again.
If we all rolled over when changes were being made we’d all be shafted. Many strikes over the years have done huge harm but others brought around the better working conditions we all work under.
