- There was never a difference in pay rates before. RDF just got same pay at first point on scale and no MSA. Simple.
- Pay rates cut by 10% without change to DFR. Implimented by memo, email, God knows?
- The DF has never needed a process to monitor and update a seperate RDF pay scale so guess what it never happened and no thought was given to haddington road agreements etc.
- The common excuse for the difference is that RDFRA was 'outside the room' during discussion on Landsdowne Road, Haddington Road agreements, etc. Should it have have mattered? The RDF is part of the DF. Rates should have been linked to R5 which should have been updated with the 10% reduction.
- This possibly hasn't been looked at before as everyone involved knows its a bit of clustfu*k. Easier to ignore.
- R5 will be updated here fixing the pay issue going forward. The 10% reduction wasn't in there in the first place so fair chance we will see pay parity back to point one on the scale...
- No backpay. Far too messy. There isn't the money or appetite there to resolve.
My two cents...
