Nobody had anything to say 6 months ago when my wages were dropped by £6,000.Unfortunately I have bills to pay and £6,000 was a massive kick in the bollocks for me and my family.I do the overtime to try to make up the massive drop in my wages,and if that offends anybody then tough sh--.My family comes first.You say I don't know how you look at yourselves in the mirror,it's better than having to tell my family that we can't pay the mortgage this month.At the end of the day it is purely down to this management who have shafted us and lied to us from day one.If an overtime ban is brought in I will back it 100% as I always have backed my Union.All the name calling and backstabbing is ridiculous,and as for doing no work throughout the day so I can get overtime is an insult.

What a couple of retards authors of last 2 posts, fancy stating someone's views aired in a union meeting on a public forum.

If there are any scabs in the place it's you 2 you might aswell walked in the office and told them.

Overtime when there are jobs on the line should be a no.no. Any union member who does it is a scab in my eyes.

As far as how much redundancy you would get go off the government minimum.. 1 weeks pay £479? Per year worked & 1.5 X that for every year worked over 41... + 12 weeks pay working notice... Capped at 15k I think
