There's something wrong with a 'consultation' when:
1. Those being 'consulted’ are on holiday
2. They have no time to discuss and reflect
3. The wording of the proposal is vague
4. The timing suits one side in a dispute more than the other

Sean Wallis - national negotiator outside ACAS
UCEA offered 5% for the next year. That would be 8% for two years. With inflation, that's a pay cut of between 11% against CPI or 15% against RPI.

Angry. Furious? Colleagues are no doubt reeling from the news about the disgraceful attack on our Pensions by
@USSEmployers
today.
Theirs is not a rational argument. There is a dwindling 'deficit'. There is no need for cuts or contribution increases.
6. Provide so much data that people struggle to find the key results
Doesn't work on me, of course. Here are the statistics and graphs you need! And bear in mind that all of these are based on projections which assume negative real growth. 7/
