The Government has refused to vary its offer since the 10th February 2004.

While voting details are yet to be finalised it is expected that the Government  offer will go to ballot in late July.  The Government document does not cover a significant proportion of the PSA claim.
It is essential that all employees vote, and VOTE NO.
