What's the average pay of a forecaster at the MetO?


And gold plated pension when they retire at 5


Pension now iron plated, and contributions up by approx 480% in 3 years..

Why are they striking? They are so well off compared to most other sections of society. Try picking for Amazon in a warehouse on minimum wage and minimum conditions. It's people like that who should be striking, but they realise they are fortunate to have a job. Any job. They do qualify for a pension, but contributing 4% of their income leaves them with 4% less than the minimum wage and they have lives to live.

Be thankful, if you work for the MetO that you have a very well-paid and well-respected job*.

*Caveat. I support the work of the MetO and have done many times, only criticising when I feel criticism is necessary, especially when idiots like larry try to criticise them from a position of no information and global warming denial, but to strike for more pay will get them no sympathy whatsoever and will fail. Watch.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. They should hire Sir Piers he could sort that lot out in hours. And give the world what they really, really want. DECENT FORECASTS!!! NOT LIES
