5% over 4 years is shite, and is well below average private sector increases as of late. I'd be pretty peed off if my union recommended acceptance of an offer like that.

And I bet job cuts looming to pay for it!

Anyone else fancy signing the petition?

I can see the idea behind the petition and agree with some of the the points raised, but after the organiser has complained about how much money has been spent on Metro reinvigoration, it will be the taxpayer (again) who will be paying for the Dft review.
Very ironic...
On a slightly different note, who decides on the quality of vehicles used on Metro replacement?
Is it Nexus or the operators contracted to supply the buses?
I wonder what other kinds of ideas could the organiser come up with, rather than spend more taxpayer money on the system in the way of a review.

Has anyone else had the Survey Monkey link for wifi on the Metro?
I would attach the link, but having completed it, it won't work again

No, haven't seen that.
The one I got was about putting wifi on the Metro.

they need to sort it out first before they include WIFI to the complaint list... don't know why they didn't just buy new trains..
