    I don't except that. It's simple. You have a job and your employer pays you an agreed rate for that job. In return you are expected to perform your duties. Advances in technology and work practise will always happen. As i always say, if you don't like it, start typing up your CV.

    This completely ignores the reality that as part of their jobs the ATC's were asked to help with implementing new technology.

    And what is unreasonable about that request?

    I can't believe that people here don't realise that not all jobs are the same, or that not all workers are expected to be mute. The IAA was more than happy to bring the workers in on the project more than two years ago as should be patently clear to anyone reading this thread or following this dispute, and now you are complaining that it is the workers who have made this horrifying demand?
    So do you believe new technologies should pass the approval of the workers? Is this in all cases or those that have a massive fundamental change? Should I get it - IT is constantly evolving and I've had to adapt, and learn, to many new technologies in four years which has increased my workload.

    Which workers should stay mute - should we all rise up against the evil overlords and demand that we get to inspect all their decisions even if we're not best placed for an understanding of them? Why does their new use of technology have to get referred to the LRC when very few other companies do - is there really a valid reason or is it just typical union refusal to adapt or do anything they don't have to?

    techdiver and ixoy, you're both leaning pretty heavily on rhetoric at the expense of any detail about the situation. I'm not going to deal with everything in your posts, but I will say that it is the IAA's fault that the LRC is involved not Impact. The case was referred to the LRC because the IAA refused to pay the 6% pay increase which they were told to do by the body below the LRC. (I don't have access to the article I was reading earlier, but that's not important)
