The paid breaks issue is due for negotiation in january 2027 as part of the 2nd round of “equalisation of new contracts” talks.
(the first round got your pay equalised)
I'd put my money on unpaid breaks being rolled out to everyone before all employees breaks are paid.
Absolutely agree.

Also whenever i have had new contract staff moaning about being on monthly pay, i have told them odds of you getting moved to weekly pay are basically none! what is most likely to happen is all the legacy staff will be moved to monthly pay.
This seems to strangely satisfy them and they stop moaning about it at that point.
That’s true. Very few contract hours jobs are paid weekly
