I’ve had 2 90 days notice in my time
Yet again
You sign or get another job.
That term of 90 days must have been existing and written into your contract then otherwise 90 day or not means nothing.
The magic term to force through a 90 day change of contract notice used to be ‘‘the job as you know it has ceased to exist’’
Don’t know if that still applies, but it was usually a fiddle because from day 91 other employees (about 95% of us took the generous redundancy terms, this was around 1990) drove the same vehicles doing the same job for the same customer, just they worked 4 on 2 off for the same money as we’d been working 4 on 4 off.
The irony was, the job was exceptionally well paid and profitable for company and driver and the company had a bloody good team of drivers, in subsequent years they lost the contract and whenever i met up with my previous managers they all said the same thing, that the company should never have changed things and kept their old teams going on original contracts, because the job never got done after the change to the same standard as previously, hence lost.

When drivers become expensive they’ll be the first out the door when cost cutting rocks around - which it will.Difficult to see how. Companies don’t normally employ more drivers than they need and unlike, say, the “Diversity and Equality Officer” employers of drivers can’t really function without them.
Cut the numbers and make the rest work harder for their money. Don’t think for a minute that the bosses will be thrilled at giving the extra toot - they will quietly begrudge being shoved into a corner.

It doesn’t matter if your permanent or agency, on good money or bad, we`ll be hated by the public even more when the price of bread, milk, beer and crisps goes up due to driver shortage.Imagine the headlines,
Shelves empty as greedy truckers demand more
Juggernaut driver get multiple wage rises while our NHS gets a measly 1%Nonsense

Juggernaut driver get multiple wage rises while our NHS gets a measly 1%So what??..Do you really care.?
That has always been used as an excuse to keep our wages down…‘‘Prices will rise’’.
So why should we have to subsidise prices by taking low wages, let some other industry up the supply chain take it on their backs for a change.No
It was a tongue in cheek comment
Ok mate, a combination of ‘You got me there’ …and me being a bit slow.

When I worked direct for stobarts you were given a £15 meal allowance per day which was more than enough for a gingsters pasty & a can of lilt ( I never had these but apparently according to a fair few on here that was my daily rations) so yes the £22.50 was imho part of my wages , unless you believe I’d spend £37.50 per day on food
That was not night out money in general though was it. The £15 meal allowance from Stobart was to bump up the wages from their ridiculous low hourly rate and make it look more attractive. I was quoting the actual night out allowance, as far as I recall this meal allowance they paid was not just for trampers, it was in everyones pay for the reason I stated.

The only option available to an employer if they want to alter the terms and the worker doesn’t agree with it is to make the position redundant under the current terms, pay redundancy pay if the employee is entitled to at least statutory redundancy pay, and re-hire the employee under new terms if they agree. If the employee doesn’t agree to the new terms they have to go find another job.This could be construed as unfair dismissal rather than a genuine case of having to make the emplloyee redundant. It would be a very difficult card to play as a tribuneral would not look favourably towards the employer if this had no adequate time lapse.
Wot happens when it is a very young new depot built say, 2 years back - with all fresh staff, previously known as “Unemployed”?
…How much redundancy money does a youngster get, laid off 20 months into their first job out of school?

Highly unlikely that this situation would occur, what possible benefit could an employer get making a fresh out of school youngster redundant to save money? His/her wages would be pittance that nnobody would probably want.
