VAN SHARING PUT ON HOLD!

Post by nationwide »

Van sharing is to be put on hold until next year.I think this has something to do with the privatisation issue and saving money.
Maybe the government should scrap it altogether like they have the ID card scheme and the new passports.

That's the sharing of vans then, how about the WS machines, on hold as well I wonder, the pension deficit on hold as well, the new understanding on hold, trust is on hold so all in all nothing has changed since before the agreement accept we do more work for less pay - wow now that is called negotiating at a masterstroke. :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle Keep giving them their money every week and before you know it...............................

I could have told them that. So could the mad old woman that lives at number 9, you know, the one that shouts at the buses.

Has the price of vans risen so much since the agreement? I wonder if our 3.4% payrise due in year 3 of the same agreement will also be considered "too costly"! :hmmmm

Where did this come from?
We're just starting to put CDV's in now, so where do we stand?
Also we're supposed to have the walksorters come in to our local MC lalter on in the year, and CDV were part of this revision, any ideas on what is going to happen?

We are into week 2 of the WSM now saves all of 10mins if that. :roll:
And we also got told that the vans we where due to get in October have now been postponed until next year. :crazy:
So much for getting the weight off your shoulder saying the D2D`s have increased this week.
