And be replaced with contractors?

The changes are going through whether direct labour want it or not. BG have us over a barrel.

a bucket of **** and a kick up the arse on the way out the door.

in a nutshell, 45 hr winter week, de-regulated weekend and evening work, compulsory overtime, the same ****e overtime rates, £1k carrot + 3% this year, possible £1k carrot + 2% next year.

oh yeah and the promise that these will be reviewed in spring.

the work types on weekends and nights is the worst, 16 hour days here we come.....midnight servicing will do nothing for the already poor reputation of our servicing policy.
