It is normal for allowances to be stopped after a certain number of weeks off sick. I am not sure exactly how many weeks as this has never happened to me.

No, less than minumum wage and we will be told it's deal of the year because it will protect full time jobs.

he must have grandfather rights to get driving allowance most of us dont get it . but the goverment bought in legislation that said all people doing the same work should get the same money so why has the union not done some thing about this ? how can thy say that two drivers doing the same job get different pay i understand that 600 drivers get more money but they should be the only ones because a union is all about all of us being treated the same :mad
