It begs the question, why does Unite think workers in more profitable areas of a very large group should be subsidizing the less profitable workers in other parts? It is well known that money cannot buy loyalty and most certainly doesn't increase productivity, so what exactly is the employer actually getting for this above inflation pay increase?
Surely at the moment it all about supply and demand? Demand for drivers is currently outstripping supply, therefore it is going to cost more to retain the ones you’ve got and to attract new ones. It is not about loyalty at all.
If GNE want to run a full service they need a full complement of drivers
