2m600f, thanks for the response. When the NVCR was first talked about by current management/union members the likelyhood was a 30 minute walk at the start and the end of each working day. LL staff in their opinion felt this was excessive and put in a claim to local management for recompense for this additional duty time.
Things have moved on since that time and the journey is now approx 10 mintues each way if the minibus system, provided by NATS, is to be used. Even with this 10 minutes at the start and end of each shift this equates to 6 days per year. Now to some it may seem like a case of LL think they are better than the rest and should get this, or to others who might take a pragmatic view may see it as if they have managed to get something we might be able to in the future.
Oh and the recompense for this travel time that Prospect asked for was in time, not cash. The cash payment was an idea from mgt ilo time compensation.
