better deal for delivey staff

Post by sjnb6 »

when will the union get a better deal for the delivery staff. we get all the hassle when delivering , try and cut off and we have to justify it. try and book extended and its like using the dims own money. the d2d payments are a joke. even the workers who don't deliver them get paid.

417 basic weekly wage for a full timer and some of the older generation still getting certain allowances. Not bad for a non skilled job when you can just work your hours and go home. If you find any of these great jobs with similar wages let me know!

It seems only the select few can actually do this though.

Where do you get the idea from that we are well paid? Everyone I know are better paid than me! I am not talking about skilled workers either. I know a friend who digs holes ready for cables who clears £467 a week. I have a brother who is a ticket collector and works 35 hours a week brings home £1700 PCM.
We work like hod carriers for what is not a living wage come home completly worn out and don't even get a weekend in this family friendly job.
Get in the real world! I am.

Don't think the paid is that good either, I mean it will be hard for me to buy a house with the pay and mortgages. But it is better paid than lot of services jobs ie Cleaners, cook, sales assistant and more. Ten years ago I used to work as web designer and only get 12,000 a year so it is not that bad.

It's a great wage if you are single or live with mum and dad as most do. You have a wife and a couple of kids and a mortgage then see how great the wage is and no chance of overtime.

Depends on where in the country you live certain cities especially in England must be a nightmare. Certainly dont see many guys in our area who have been in 10 years plus struggling.
