I can now say, that this has been weighing heavy upon me, the enormity of this meeting was not lost.
As per your suggestions - You as members have that right to know.
I am worried about the decision of a pay freeze, and the affect it will have. My own suggestion (which I held back until this statement was made) is to wait until April 2010 and then access the situation before making any statement about pay and conditions - (of course tenders muct be made, and this will have implications to this) BUT To condemn a whole year based on today's conditions is not something to be made. As IfA members I urge you to voice your opinions. VAT increases in January, the cost of living will increase, and wages are already being driven down - how low would you go.
Kevins post perhaps summarises the feelings that I am sure many hold - What happened and why....:face-confused:
BAJR is but one small voice, but it does allow free speech and comment for all. Use it as you wish.
