United we stand.....but no strike
You may have read that some Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) staff may strike over pay conditions. The MCA is a small Agency with many parts, staffed by full time workers and volunteers (us). Pay talks for the Agencies full time workers has been going on for sometime and this is not the place to debate their dispute.
We are classed as volunteers, we do get a small payment for call outs and other bits like training, however the vast majority of time we do things voluntarily, this dispute does not include (to my knowledge) Coastguard Rescue Teams.
My reasons for this post is to confirm that any action by others in the Agency does not involve any of the team and as far as we are concerned its business as usual...24/7.
