penfold:
Yes, re. kitchen manufacturer - their drivers’ had a meeting at our local Legion club last weekend. I understand that a few of them have been offered early retirement!
I used to do agency for them years ago. My mate works there. From what I can gather, it looks like Monday or Friday is pretty much going to work out as entirely agency drivers. Looks like the management haven’t got a clue. They’re still trying to decide whether to go 17 or 26 weeks. Add that to the warehouse staff got a payrise but drivers didn’t debacle and its all going to go pear shaped.
My mate told me what his annual pay was based on 56hrs. It isn’t all that great.
