Totally agree, safety is paramount and under no circumstance should be compromised.However we must balance the proportionality of excessive safety against the profitability of our employer.
An increase in working hours may mean working a few days off, particularly on the shorthaul side, but is that such a bad deal when nearly 38,000 employees ability to pay their mortgages rely on a strong secure employer?
FTL, in my view, can safely be increased by 100 hours pa.
