Don't be fooled by 2.8%
With less than a couple months to ago till our pay announcement by the DDRB, don't be fooled by whatever they offer if that is not aligned with pay restoration.
The government have deliberately put out a figure of 2.8% to make us feel grateful for wherever we get higher than this. This is a classic example of the framing effect, they are hoping to use this figure to justify a slightly shitter offer to make themselves seem generous.
They might offer 5.6% and say it was DOUBLE our initial offer. None of this shit matter.
Our profession is at the brink of collapse. A state where it is basically impossible to get into training for most people. Pay fucked !!! Whole issue of PA/AA!! And so much more.
So let's get ready folks. Go to work and speak to your colleagues, share the anger and rage. Discuss the problems. Let's start getting united once again. There are a lot of us who can't just CCT and flee. This is a profession that we have sacrificed our youth to attain. Let us prepare for the next war and march towards a pay restoration!!
