Clearly the snow and ice is dominating the headlines but also creating difficulties for workers getting into work or in some cases making work difficult or even dangerous particularly in outdoor, transport or logistics related jobs.
I would be grateful if you could contact me ciaran.naidoo@unitetheunion.com if you are aware of any particular difficulties members/reps might be experiencing with their employers because of the snow and ice.
If you have any examples - with a view to publication - of employers behaving unacceptably with staff because of the weather I would be grateful if you could let me know. Equally if you have any examples of good practice from employers or agreements the union has reached related to the weather conditions which might be worth publication could you also let me know too. Or any examples of workers doing great work in difficult conditions would be good too
Cant wait to see the comments from this!!.
ReplyDeleteThrough wind snow -10c i manageed too get too work, some rang in and management went all gooey and said "oh its all ok if you cant get there stay at home don,t risk anything" which left us sliding about in tankers worth , how much? not too mention all about us and our own safety, do we get a phone call , saying thanks lads for your efforts ? do we f**k we get f**k all and we are making money for these , please can someone tell me why we are not on strike now.
ReplyDeleteanyone who takes a tanker out in conditions like the north are having are clearly not thinking straight. Dont go out!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love all this snow bouble bubble all weekend + a paid day at home Let it snow let it snow let it snow HoHoHo
ReplyDeleteYou are a tit
ReplyDeleteYou are all tits you complain that you don't get a pay rise!!! yet you are out in all weather for what Double time "god you are cheap".
ReplyDeleteThis lot is making a mint out off this snow last year light crude was about $70.00 a barrel and oil was going out at about 44.00ppl this year a barrel is at about $87.00 a barrel yet the average oil is at 70.00ppl so out of this a rise of 26 pence lt yet what did you get!!! 3% Mugs
why are there no dates, only times on these blogs, is it because the Union do not want us to see how long it has been since they posted the blog about balloting for strike action. The time where we could of had most effect will be over when everyone has thier Christmas oil...GB oils would love us to strike when it's quiet, another excuse to get rid of a few more drivers.
ReplyDeleteNext it will be you can work Sundays for DT you can work Sundays any time yes Big Tits
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with 3.45PM. I can only assume the reason the strike ballot hasn't materialised is the union top bods have shares in GB Oils!!!! WHERE IS THE STRIKE BALLOT MR WEBB??
ReplyDeleteIts all gone Tits up if you ask me
ReplyDeleteQoute from a earlier post by the 'union'
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion, I really do know the members’ frustration but please be assured that I have now received additional administrative resources to ensure that this ballot is completed as quick as possible.
In the meantime I would ask that our members bear with me and their National leadership so that we can complete this correctly and at the same time effectively.
I thought it was important at this stage to let you, the members, know that we are not dragging our feet and there is absolutely no delay within this process.
WHAT THE CHUFF ARE THE 'ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE RESOURCES' F##KING DOING????
'NOT DRAGGING YOUR FEET' BOLLOCKS, WE HAVE MISSED THE IDEAL TIME FOR A WORK TO RULE , STRIKE, WHATEVER, THIS STINKS OF A BIG BACK HANDER TO SOME ONE TO DRAG IT OUT UNTIL WE ARE NOT SO BUSY SO gb EFING oils CAN MAKE A SHIT LOAD FOR THIER SHARE HOLDERS.
Well Said 8.34PM
ReplyDeletelook at henizs 57 in wigan straight on the gate with the union the supporting them whats going ron webb are you having nive x mas drink with gb oils bossess on our union fees every months sort it out . our you will fine people pull the money from the union
ReplyDeleteWhy can't gb oils pay for winter tyres for the tankers? going up farm tracks and minor roads that have not been treated on motorway tyres is damn dangerous. Surely spending a bit on tyres would save bringing some deliveries back to the depot. I personally believe it is a health and safety requirement by the company and it would be them sued if they had sent a tanker out not fit for the road conditions and there was a major incident.
ReplyDeletewinter tyres thats a laugh some drivers cant even get a hose replaced as the company sees them as too expensive.
ReplyDeletei'll be stopping my direct debit in the new year if nothing is done.as others have said it will be too latr after feb
ReplyDeletei believe that sone of the grangemouth drivers are confused with the extra hours driving
ReplyDeleteentitlement they are wondreing how they can manage a25 hour day
only 2 months till bad weather goes ...... cheers for the help from the union nice one ron webb from all the ellesmere port bramhall and trafford park and other depots in the north west have nice x mas with your great pay packed cheers and our union fee nice one mate
ReplyDeleteIt really does start too look that Mr Webb is in GB OILS pocket, how much for????
ReplyDeletei'm starting to wonder how many customers we will have left next year after they have been ripped off by our greedy company.£250 on top of the price for a delivery within 2 days.how do we explain to the old dears on the doorstep who paid 40 odd pence a few months ago.i personnally tell them it's to pay the shareholders,that the company don't give a toss about its drivers just as long as the money is rolling in
ReplyDeleteI don’t know!!! the ones that are posting this crap do not a have brain that they were born with. For a start if we went out on the gate at this time what do you think that the public would say? Oh it maters what they think.
ReplyDeleteTo accuses Ron Webb with been in bed with the company I just don’t think so it all takes time. And you will get your time at the start of the New Year then we will see what size your balls are I hope they are as big as the mouths of some of you oh well back to the snow Happy Xmas to all.
A well pissed of Driver in the snow
well the transports mangers are telling the shop steward that they have wagon park up if we go one strike so let play there card and see how its turns out hope there all pass out in stanlow and bramhall and kingbury and other places
