Sounds pretty much like deferred pay to me. It is somethign we have beensaying for at lease the last 15 years - since i have been involved with them and it is an accepted fact.

and how is being paid for what i do a perk? I don't get paid I don't work I don't work I dont get paid . no perk there . a perk would be getting something for nothing like a 25% non contributory pension.

the oil staff want something for nothing to continue ad infinitum. that is unviable in todays economic climate. thats why they are saying you can have it now or later but not both.

they even want it for future employees, awww thanks guys I was thinking of starting for Ineos in about 10 years, just to top me pension off like.

ahh feck it let the Unions run the country and see how quickly we end up even further on our arses than we are now.
I take it you have read animal farm by Orwell . look what happemed there in the end.
