Basically i have been with RM just over two years now and im still on a temp rolling 3 month contract which this time is due to end at end of March this year. Im sure i had read somewehere on here that the CWU had agreed that after two years you had to be made permanent. Is this the case or did i misread something? My CWU rep said he hadnt heard of this and when he spoke to the DOM he said everything just carries on as normal i.e temp rolling contract. Dont know where i stand at the moment. Our revision isnt now due until later this year so i want to do all i can to try and secure a permanent contract. Any advice appreciated.

Do you get made permanent after two years?
Tried to do a search to find out if my question has been answered before and couldnt find a definitive answer.

Legally it is 4 years.
RM and the CWU had a 2 year agreement but RM don't seem keen on honouring it. (No surprise there)

Re: Do you get made permanent after two years?
Is there anything official on here that shows the agreement, something i could take into my rep to show him? Will ask the rep tomorrow to speak to area rep for clarificaton but our rep is the Doms best mate so dont hope for much. Can i contact the area rep myself or has it got to be done via the local rep? Cheers for the replies.clashcityrocker wrote:Legally it is 4 years.

Re: Do you get made permanent after two years?
