This news is hot of the press.....

Just been informed that the decision was made three weeks ago about the pay scales, that movers above Cpl had got it and suppliers have not. The reason we have not been informed is that our trade has appealed the decision and we are awaiting a response. However when trades have appealed in the past it has not been very successful.

I guess that appeals process will take about...err....lets say 18 months?

I admire your loyalty towards the TS Stax, but I think this whole episode has been badly communicated from day 1. Just as a matter of interest, Supplyordie says the decision was made 3 weeks ago. Note the date of this pile of sh1te from some d1ck at A4 SCM published on Logweb:

The Trade
Job Evaluations Update: 19 Mar 10 – Decision Awaited
Thank you all for your patience as we await the decision on the job evaluations from last year. I understand that it is very frustrating and that you may feel that there is more that could be done by the Branch and Trades Sponsors or the chain of command. This is simply not the case; we have provided all the necessary evidence and impact statements and the decision will be made in due course.

We are as irritated as you are but the extraordinary financial situation in which we find ourselves has played its part in slowing the decision process as the Department seeks to ensure that its expenditure plans are carefully scrutinised and pass muster at the highest level. The Head of Logistics Branch & Trades has been personally engaged at the highest level on this issue and remains so.

We will inform you immediately if we have anything further to report, but until then could I ask you to remain patient and accept that there really is nothing more you, the Branch & Trades Sponsors or the chain of command can do which will elicit the decision any quicker. The information we have provided up to now, and again in this message, will not change until we have the decision one-way or the other.

Now i'm a stacker, so i'm not too hot at maths, but the 19th Mar wasn't 3 weeks ago. It does make you wonder if the tool knew, and wasn't man enough to tell everyone involved, or he was told to send out that garbage. Unfortunately it may (?) have backfired on him. Transparency is the buzzword from now on. If, like Stax says, if he knew an appeal was lodged, then what difference does it make if it is disclosed that we'll remain lowly paid scum, pending that appeal.

Personally I'm no worse off, so crack on as Tashy Man might say. What does p1ss me off, is after getting my 3rd, the missus earns more than me as a cpl scribbly. And why did she get upbanded, as a retention tool. Well, I may forsee a bit of a retention crisis on the horizon for our undermanned, under recruited and under valued trade.

If a prod was needed to move me on, then I have just been poked!!

Congratulations to the majority that have been successful, to you I bear no grudge. It is ironic that Admin, whose justification probably include an increase in workload via JPA, will have to schedule a 3rd day to close the BSW Office to shuffle the inevitable increase of PVR paperwork and fanning their terminals as JPA goes into melt down. Legitimising their pay increase at last!

In 24 years I have accumulated a myriad of logistic based qualifications, which have included; various driving licenses, ADR & IATA, Fuels Management to name a few. All designed to provide our increased Joint Service Military with a versatile, efficient, pro-active and diverse Logistic Support. It is testament to the RAF that over the years both the ARMY and Navy have adopted our processes and ideals to facilitate a very slick service both home and abroad.

I have a nephew who will be advised to rethink his trade choice when considering his options upon leaving school this year. Not because he will not enjoy the opportunities the trade has to offer, but because the pay will not reflect his potential contribution to the Service. I have often enthused about my exploits and the opportunities to travel and it is with a tinge of sadness that I will be suggesting that he will be financially better of as a Steward, or Admin Clerk............IT STINKS!!

Congratulations Sir, whoever you may be........enjoy the trade experience gulf for the next 10 years as the glut of ill advised LAC's try to catchup and fill the voids we're about to create. Logistics Specialists are a valuable asset in Civvy Street, highlighted in the salaries offered and paid.

Just got to sit down with Mrs Plumripe and look at our options, not a case of if, but when!

Job Evaluations Update: 6 Apr 10 – Decision Remains Pending

In response to rumours currently circulating, I can confirm AMP is still considering the recommendations and as soon as the Personnel Pay and Pensions office is notified of a decision, we will inform the chains of command accordingly.

Viola, this is from the logweb site and its the same 3 paras as before but with this tagged onto the end.

Good skills, dropping it in after cease work.

I guess that means they are still deciding if we will get the rise, but really, where is the communication for us, why do we have to come on here to get answers to such an important topic that will affect us.

Where are the people who know what is going on, there has not been any official, proper answer.:PDT_Xtremez_32:
