Thanks for that Rowley.

Lets hope the lads in dispute manage to persuade enough drivers to turn back.

Quote from Stobart spokesperson…“Our proposal was a 50% increase in their statutory redundancy pay which would have seen them benefit from significant financial support so it’s disappointing to see them lose out.‘’

Statutory redundancy isn’t worth a light, Tesco should have done the right thing here, still you don’t always make £billions in profit by doing it so…

To balance quote from Unite spokesperson… “The latest offer to settle this long running dispute was completely unsatisfactory to our members who feel that they have been boxed into a corner by the hard-hearted Eddie Stobart management.”

‘‘The 183 drivers, of which 180 are Unite members’’…that explains much, the worker that is alone without representation and the weight of numbers is easy pickings for the bully boy elements of big business.

Keep it up lads, theres more of us in full support of you than this thread would have you believe.

CM report that:“…This followed the operator’s decision to make all 183 drivers’ roles redundant…“ESL report:”…David Pickering, Eddie Stobart MD, said:…we have already committed over 120 alternative driving roles within Stobart…with Tesco offering an additional 90 warehousing jobs…”

David Pickering = the biggest Richard head at stobarts, quickly followed by a millimetre of Bolger, carruthers and Morgan! RACE TO THE BOTTOM DUE TO THESE HELMETS!

I take it you have had dealings with ESL et al and are not impressed!

MERCHANT BANKERS! the lot of them

Of course they are…and not many realise it… or that it’s the main reason for the “RACE TO THE BOTTOM”.

@Juddian.

Good post.
