i don't know about the rest of you but i feel that the company is finally made, if not a step, half a step in the right direction. I was fortunate not to be on the 207 onwards contract and having seen how some of the TATCs struggled their way through and ending up in debt, all credit to the new GM at Hurn and of course to the Union members who work tirelessly behind the scenes for having achieved this.
As mentioned above now, it is all about what information can be obtained in relation to the Trainees on the old contract who are earning the same, if not less, that the new Trainees at the college.
It was never explained very well as to the reason the wage went down and i would like to know (if at all possible) the reason for it to go up, despite the obvious that £10k p.a. is not enough to survive without getting into some sort of debt.
To summarise, well done to the Union and to the GM at Hurn for recognising that it was a struggle for the new Trainees.
