Personnel issues are easier when creating different shift patterns

The Portsmouth-based firm which trains the Royal Navy’s personnel is facing a vote on strike action over pay. The Prospect trade union said it intends to ballot around 200 of its members working for VT Flagship. The dispute concerns a pay freeze, which was imposed on all employees following record company profits. The division is based in North Harbour, and provides training (including rifle range, radar and missile) for the Type 45 destroyers, at bases including HMS Sultan, Excellent and Collingwood. The company has already issued a legal challenge to the vote, which has angered union leaders.
