Agree. But not so sure it would take that long.

A simplified view/argument, but quite probably an accurate one. Sadly.
Though, the actual list of attacks on pay and T&C's will be quite a bit longer. :sad:

Except for the holiday pay that's protected under the law. Statutory sick pay is £86.78 but I can see RM bringing in the no sick pay for the first 3 days rule.

I think that only 4 weeks paid leave pa is mandatory under the Working Time regulations. The extra leave you get with longer service could be scrapped. And if the UK opts out of EU working time regulations as the Tories want, and say they are going to renegotiate, UK workers might not even be guaranteed 4 weeks paid holidays pa.

Maybe I should have gone into further details Teebs.
I was referring to the possibility/probability that under new owners, we would have holidays cut to the bare minimum, as Baldrick said, which is currently 28 days. 4 weeks and the 8 Bank Holidays that are the legal minimum, so in effect a cut in holiday pay. So even the basic allowance of 4 weeks and 3 days to start with is too much, and getting to 20 years for 6 weeks (plus 8 BH days) would be a thing of the past.
