Guy's wake up realise the shafting is taking place before the vaseline runs dry.
We have the worst terms and conditions in the industry. No company I know of pays what we do for a fleet including 757's. For duty times inexcess of 12hours the company won't even place a hot meal on the laps of its crew, that applies for staff who are down route in TFS with no means to rovide their own food.
In money terms crews are down financially by being laid out to pasture for 6-7 months at a stretch while management try and piece together sporadic recruitment with 'orders from above'.
People might put up with the bulls@~t if
1.Wanting to live in leeds
2. Being paid a representative amout
3 Decent staff travel
Work it out for yourselves we have absolutely nothing going for us other than some good people on the line.
Pol1wx BTW the council is a good bunch but they were agreed to just as atoken gesture to prevent a union from forming, since they have formed nothing has been affected from negotiations, the increase in sector pay was establish behind closed doors before the first meeting, and the only thing that has happened is a removal of t&c's i.e skippers healthcare without ANY consultation. The council as many of them agree this themselves will be utterly useless in fighting PM and ID
