In some cases upto £180. After half a dozen grievances from some part timers nothings changed our DUM ignored and binned them? although they admit this was said RM still wont pay. The CWU have had it upstairs with RM for over a year and we still have not got our money!

The Reps should have got it in writing first. We are dealing with the most underhand bas**rds ever to walk the earth and should make them fight for every inch they want to take.
I think the 0500 shift allowance shouls be consolidated into basic pay or you will have people doing the same job on different pay ultimately causing division within the ranks.
