Unfortunately there is a huge wage gap difference from new recruits to legacy workers that will take a decade to erase. It's more like a three or four tier pay structure for doing the same job . So many ridiculous allowances are given to some individuals that some could be earning Upto £1000 a week I give you an example or two of two I heard . One driver transferred in from cashco trains and had certain premiums that he kept and went on the driving. It's suggested he was near to the £1000 mark every week where others only picked up their 7.5 allowance. The others I've heard is absolutely absence .. you can work alongside others who had London weighting , phg, team leadership but never do it , tpm but rarely do it but it's protected and some monthly allowance from their old office the union negotiated 30 years ago and of course the cash co allowance . Add all that up and you're looking at a hefty amount. People could know the CWU but without them you'd of been on bare minimal money compared to superstar wages.

I think the new owner will want this sorted sooner rather than later imho
