This deal is a pay cut in real terms

Post by piranha »

Loss of grandfather rights and early shift allowance and D2Ds = approx. £45 p/w

Loss of an hours pay a week = approx £8 p/w

Replace with new D2D supp. = £20 p/w

So 33 quid approx less a week

Even with the proposed yearly pay rises we will still be losing out big time :mad

Agree but people will only see the lump sum not the long term.

The shorter working week (or should we say ten minutes shorter day or even ten minute later start!) wont amount to an hours less pay i understand.

El Cartero, You make me embarrassed to be a part timer :oops:

Maybe if you took the time to read the posts you would realise its a crap deal for everyone and the full timers agree that we are getting the worst of the deal .

You are coming across now as a smug little sh1t :speak to the hand

The deal is an embarrassment to us all, a pay cut in real terms, a loss of status for the union, a loss of rights for the membership. If you read it carefully it's like a really sad begging letter from the union. Please let us remain in the workplace, please, please, please, and we'll be really good from now on, we promise. It's full of platitudes and vagaries and generalisations which sound good but mean nothing. It addresses none of the issues, and gives more away than it gets back. It's a dishonourable agreement. It dishonours us all.
