Is it not illegal??

Post by stotty »

It has been suggested on here that managers are picking up strike breakers in vans that are not designed to carry passengers in the back ie Ford connects and combis is this not against the law as no seat belts are fitted? What about Royal Mails own health and saftey policy??

to carry anybody in the back of a van is illegal unless its fitted with seats / seat belts

This probably accounts to why one of the scab vans left our office thismorning with the passenger seat side piled high with specials,their was no room in the back of the van for the specials due to strike breakers being their.
