There's big problems with a few Arriva London drivers as they're being told to TUPE to another operator, who pay less, so don't want to but if they stay with Arriva they lose all their employment status and work as effectively as a new driver since there's no work for them.
Assume it'd be similar up here under franchising.
That's interesting, and something I understood to be illegal? The incoming employer usually isn't allowed to make changes to someone's contract as a result of the transfer. Trying to reduce someone's wage because they pay existing staff less, is a good example of that.
Have you got a link to or copy of that agreement?
