The current hourly rate is £12.83 - when increased by 9.1% this would become £14.00 per hour, an increase of £1.17 per hour which, on a 39 hour week, is an extra £45.63 per week.
A much bigger increase than many other workers will get this year, and on top of a 10% plus increase last year.
Is the main issue that GNE drivers get paid for more of their mealbreaks than Arriva and Stagecoach do?
So an Arriva or Stagecoach driver does more driving in the 39 hours that they are paid for than a GNE driver?
Someone in an earlier post mentioned minimum wage - it's £10.42 per hour btw.
