‘Deliveries’ and ‘Collections’ translates as class 1 multi drop.No nights out translates as local multi drop.Wages quoted as salary not hourly rate is also a can of worms.
As for unions my wages and terms and conditions and quality of work went from ok to bad to worse to abysmal under the TGWU.
To the point where a decent job and finish direct distance night trunking trailer swap job that I started in 1985 at around £200 per week averaging around 40 hours max.
Had turned into a 50 hour per week hub system grind, used as a warehouse labourer during the resulting transhipment ‘sort’, all for the sum of around £350 per week as of the mid to late 1990’s.
While now the industry has the elephant in the room of a rampant rail freight sector about to decimate it and what quality jobs might still be out there.
Oh for gods sake give it a rest you f’ing bore. When you’ve actually managed to find a company both stupid and desperate enough to employ a workshy, lazy know it all such as yourself with a p#*s poor attitude to boot then come back and comment. Until then stop writing crap that you have no first hand experience of in the last 30 years.
