Wez Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I thought it was equiv to £39k but not actually £39k however that works, there was also something in the deal that means it goes up each year for the next few years as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiematt Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The two haulage firms, Hoyer UK and Suckling Transport, say unions rejected a pay offer which would take the drivers' average salary to £41,500 by January 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7452033.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7452033.stm I read somewhere else it would only be £41,500 if they did overtime. Having said that we dont know how many hours a week they work. It may 60 for all we know which means the hourly rate is pretty poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiematt Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Two contrasting viewpoints here ...Whether thats true or not I dont know, but seems a fair wage for sitting on their arse, listening to Radio2 all day and making motorists life hell. JB ..."Driving a fuel tanker is a skilled and dangerous job," - didn't realise Radio 2 was that dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I didn't realise that the drivers don't even work for Shell, but for their contractors. Small wonder Shell are staying out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
