Ray,

You mentioned that we would have the option to stay on our existing contracts. At the Unison talk I went to only a small percentage of staff within the NHS would be able to choose between sticking on their existing contracts or transferring to AfC. If you were one of those that could, how succesful would you be when trying to negiogiate your annual pay increase. Do you think you Union would support you or the masses who had to forcibly transfer to AfC. Voting for something that you don't have the full facts for is very naive as is hoping that you will have a get out of jail card when things don't quite go to plan.
