George@ASDA driver:
from start to finish. When i’m on break, i’m in their truck, and on duty for them, taking a break i’m forced to take.

Why the hell shouldn’t I be paid? Can’t believe so many companies don’t pay.

Changed then? i understood from other George drivers that the first or even second break if reqd was unpaid, was i told wrong?

Take 30 mins off us per shift for meal break.

It’s always been like that so fair enough, BUT, if we take any excess breaks now they take that time off us as well (using the tracker readout)

Yes i was told wrong, very wrong.

This was an ex N’pton driver who’d jacked it in, maybe wanted to make it look bad.

Thanks for putting me right.

i’m not surprised. There’s many long term drivers who still don’t have a clue about their T’s&C’s lol
