WE SHOULD BE VALUED MORE
WE ARE WORTH MORE!
UNITE THE UNION and your elected Union Leadership are fighting on your behalf to achieve improved Terms and Conditions of Employment for YOU our member. The Company have shown that they believe their shareholders are worth an 8% increase in their dividend in the last year,but you are only worth 3% in the last two years. As you can see from whats going at Inverness (The company G B Oil's) run by paul vian. can not get to you all !! so it looks like that they are trying to get at you by getting at your Shop Steward's
WELL NOW IT WILL BE YOUR TURN
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO STAND TOGETHER AND TELL YOUR EMPLOYER THAT "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" ;that this cannot go on and that "best wishes" and " thank you's" can't pay the bills.
So by voting for (1) and (2) in the consultative ballot you will send out the message to the board that you will not be intimidated by the BULLY BOYS that have a cheek to call them self's managers.
This is your first and probably your last time to stand up and be MEN if not ??????
RE Have your say employee survey results - says it all half the staff complained their Managers did not keep them informed or took their complaints seriously this will be addressed at some point- Managers get serious money to manage however do not listen- Drivers should get serious money to drive- easy drop the serious money to the plonkers that hold a position to manage. Re your shop steward in Inverness was a Manager present or a plonker??
ReplyDeleteWell i got my vote to day and its a big X for get it right up you!!!!! the snow is coming and the dark nights are here but another year and NO pay is near so for me its the gate.
ReplyDeleteWe have not had our vote yet??? come on Union lets get to the gate
ReplyDeleteIf they can suspend your shop stewards and you do nothing to oppose it then maybe you all deserve the pay award you get.
ReplyDeleteAccepted the men in question allegedly broke regulations; however it seems management use personal mobiles to contact drivers when it suits them.
The Union is not some mystical organisation with super powers it is YOU! It is only as powerful as your solidarity. If you cannot stand together and support each other you are sunk.
Sales can sell as much fuel as they like; Managers and Shareholders are not going to get this fuel to the customer.
Be assertive. Stand Together. Have a life AND a wage.
I bet your top multi-million pound management, having never driven a dangerous load up a sheep track, dont miss their familes, while they are saving up for their yachting holiday in the caribbean.
Wise up and stand together for all our sakes!

Who shopped the shop steward?
ReplyDeleteWas it you?
Remember gambling in the firms time tut tut
Think before you organize your time around

If we stand together just this once we can shut this whole operation down. COME ON LADS DO THE RIGHT THING AND SHOW THEM WHAT WE ARE MADE OF!!! tHEY'LL GET BACK AROUND THE TABLE WHEN WE'RE ON THE GATE
ReplyDeleteanyone know thats happning about the ipswich depot
ReplyDeletewe in the north east have heard nothing from ourer union rep phoned shouted eny idea whats going on.
ReplyDeleteam i the only one that has noticed that since DP came to gb oils we have to go to a ballot every time a pay rise is due ?? you do all know he really wants to take us on and win ! i suggest we all take this opertunity to go to the gate and maybe just maybe we wont have to go through this time and time again ! none of the other oil distributors have this hassle ! i for one am pig sick of it ! its not about money with me now , if they want a fight which they do then lets give them one to remember ! come on lads lets unite , just once PLEASE !!!!
ReplyDeleteHas anybody contacted DCC and filled them in about all this, i dont think for one min they know anything about it or how DP thinks he can rule his loyal staff he just thinks sod them drivers there the scum of the earth i even think Paul vian thinks the same. No more talk lads its giving me a headacre!!
ReplyDeleteI agree withe comment at 11.45. It's not just about the money now it's about dignity and respect. At the moment we are given niether. If we don't stand together and win then I know for a fact we will all regret it because the union will lose all credibility and then the company will do what the hell they like. Yes I know some of you are thinking the union had no crdibility in the first place but if you don't back them things will get a whole lot worse. GUARENTEED
ReplyDeleteRespect!!!! look it's from the bog that this lot came from. They only pay what they can get away with!!! as for your rights forget it.
ReplyDeletei only have one thing to say to u all unless u all stick together u will never get anywhere with that arrgent useless man in charge iam afraid that i have seen the crawllers lick his ass Sorry folks u will never gett anywhere with him unless there was a way to be ridd off him
ReplyDeleteSRRIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Simply said
ReplyDeleteYes when do we get the real ballot!!!! so we can show this lot what the men think of them.
ReplyDeleteOur lads all want to hit the gate every last one it's solid here!!!!!
ReplyDeletedid you mean STRIKE ??
ReplyDeletehi,another good man gets the bullet for an offence that is so petty that it has to be on a personnal level.just because he has been a good shop steward. if anybody needs to know the way this company is going take a look at scottish fuels. they are being messed about big time. lets hope that the next steward they get has the same size cajones as usdian.
ReplyDeletedid the shop steward from inverness get fired ? if so what are his work mates doing about it, as im sure he did plenty for them ! i believe they have 2 stewards up there so i hope he is organising something ! thet really cant let this go !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are all his work mates. England and Wales included. The best thing we can do to support Uisdean is to vote for strike action when the legal ballot comes around and give the tosser that instigated his sacking a real good bloody nose as thta's the only language he seems to understand. Yes Mr God you know who you are.
ReplyDeleteYou guys do not have the balls to go on strike. One of your own drivers set up by management and you guys do nothing. You couldnt strike a bloody match. Everyone in the petroleum industry is laughing at you.
ReplyDeleteShop Steward Uisdean was not only fired today but also banned from Caley Oils Terminals therefore they have made sure he does,nt work again in the North oil industry.
ReplyDeleteCommon respect and dignity gone.
Think hard the remaining ones - you could be next
Stand up to the bastard that did this to him and start being men
A
Well said Furious bastard but the problem you have in a depot like inverness is that they are now all desperate to get his job driving a BIG lorry instead of doing domestics. Divide and conquer is the way they like it. I also think you will find that other companies in the industry will not support you. Your own drivers driving through picket lines in grangemouth and delivering to shell and bp sites. I doubt if this will be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteAgree with comment at 7.21
ReplyDeletethe men sorry boys in Inverness do not have the balls, plenty talk but no action.
SL
Call yourselves work mates when you stand by and let this happen to man
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile crawl up the routers arse looking for overtime and extra runs and maybe you will find a mobile phone if you go high enough . suckers
shop steward unisdean was a good worker for the men,but when he started he was doing all the hours and working in other depots doing work when drivers in depot said they had done enough. let us all remind our self we have all broke rules but at the end of the day company are just go ing to use drivers hand book when it suits them .until all drivers stick together we will get nowhere ,drivers saying one thing to your face then going to management and saying something else. you also have drivers phoning up other drivers trying to scare them by saying if we do not acept offer there will be pay offs, if they want to pay men off they will do it where we get pay offer or not
ReplyDeletethey,ve just paid off 3 tanker drivers in the Penrith depot and 2 office staff yet they have 3 area managers in the same region i.e south scotland region,shows who,s looking after who don,t you think,if they,d got rid of one of the managers it would have saved 2 jobs,now the drivers who are left know they won,t be able to cope in the winter period,yet more customers lost to the competitors,but hey who cares the managers are still getting their big salaries and who cares about the drivers.Well done g.b.oils
ReplyDeleteSorry this lot can not manage? you would need 5 managers to one driver we are F~~~~~ with this lot in control if any driver is looking for a job DON'T for god sake come to GB OILS
