As a Tesco driver.It’s obvious that the Union views the job as warehouse operative/driver and as such that’s what the employer will base its further negotiating position on if it has any sense.
Even in my case the T and G didn’t actually negotiate drivers and warehouse staff wage deals collectively.
The Union will probably stitch them up by settling for 3% but drivers can be used as warehouse staff as and when required then the firm will pay for the ‘increase’ by shedding warehouse staff.
Yes use drivers as warehouse ops, why don’t they try it the other way round then if the jobs are equal, will solve their driver shortage pretty quickly.
It’s not just tesco where the collective bargaining is like this, Asda is the same.
The Union moaned like ■■■■ when Asda gave drivers a £750 bonus but not the warehouse, which was effectively a retention bonus because they were scared drivers were gonna jump ship to tesco for the £1000 sign on bonus.
