Technical Trades?
Technical Trades?
Just a quick thought, why do people think it is a pay for technical trades? If the all the JE scores were published it would surprise everyone. The top scoring trade has nothing to do with a/c!!
Technical Trades?
First off can I say a big thanks to any and all involved with review process, including those interviewed and all the TS's involved. We (Stackers, including me) have been very critical about the whole process and especially the length of time involved to resolve this issue, the lack of info has been frustrating to say the least.
Do any deserve to be on the high pay band from non-technical trades, hell no!! There is a 2 band system for a reason, and the powers that be have created a monster by bluring those lines.
Am I going to offer my new pay back in respect of my beliefs, hell no!!
What I do feel is another problem is the NCO's not getting the pay, what do they do differently from SNCO's in our trade. What courses can they not do as a JNCO that I can not do as a SNCO (Ocean terminal being one of the only that I can think of, and how many slots does that entail).
This problem has been caused by upbanding other non-techincal trades. I can only wonder at how they feel about all this, surely a review of the whole pay structure will need to be held. I have seen some say that they will dicourage others from joining as Suppliers, and that it will be hard to recuit people into our trade, how the hell are the technical trades going to recuit people, what is the incentive for them!!
The MOD are responsible for creating this whole sorry mess, and despite any outcome someone would get upset. Will people PVR over this, I would doubt it, will some SNCO's stay in because of the increase in pay, some will, but pay is not everything!!
As always the majority of us will just 'crack on' as per usual. DT_Xtremez_30:
