Yes, not nice for the lower paid, having to have unpaid holidays & yes if this comes in it will make life better for them to the tune of almost 2 weeks wages a year.

Ok then, what effect is this going to have on others like me, because I already get more than the statutary requirement, my employer is just going to say that I swallow the newer requirement into my contractual alocation. Or will it alos mean that I too get to have an extra 9 days PA?

Most likely, nothing will change for you, as you probably already have Bank Holidays off.
