Head in sand and misinformation

As SLF not allowed to comment in CC forum

They question the removal of ST and state no other company can do it
Miners strikes only lost pay etc (wrong they lost free coal every month)

My company, you get to use the company car for personal use, Yes you do have to pay tax on your P11D for it but it is still a perk, and often has been removed for many reasons,
The same with the company Vans pay tax on P11D but a perk that can be removed and again has
(of course the tax obligation stops on the date it is removed)

The good guys get the van home pay the tax and run a thriving lift and shift service
The car drivers get personal use of the car just pay fuel for private travel
(abused as taxi service at weekends) or just the joy of a car and just pay the fuel
The offenders lose the perk, they park the vehicles up in the work compound, and make their own way home, in some cases sixty miles, on top of having to return to the work after the shift, not just as before adjusting your trip to finish near home

The above perks are good, but worth nothing like ST with BA and even more significant when the average salary is £17k py

If SLF could only post over there and show them where their bread is well buttered

Fully qualified ARTISAN £17k pa working shifts over weekends and evenings use of company vehicle,which can be removed at companies discretion, the high light an evening in Methil Docks, and the annual holiday screwed by Militant CC
