[QUOTE="FeederUK, post: 133875, member: 7079"] Redundancy =They want to get rid of some 30,000 employees (on a voluntary basis only, and of course through natural wastage i.e retirement,people leaving etc.It is done in seniority, not as you may expect last in,first out but the other way round :thumbup1: It is interesting to read the differences in how the company operates on your side of the pond. Here, drivers are taken on full time straight away,like in my case I had the relevant licence so could apply for the job of feeder driver immediately.No need to start as a loader, or part time working my way up through package car driver etc. The workforce is, as far as I am aware ,unionised, like the majority of labour in this country. As for pay? It seems comparable when a £ > $ conversion is done .But of course the cost of living is more expensive here ,meaning your $ goes a lot further than my £.
