fixed length shift aye 15 hours being thrown about the cab sounds like the dream doesn’t it ?? I’m sure you hand cutters are away at 2pm after a nice walk around the woods talking in the scenery…..

Not sure on contractually obliged…… plus don’t think it would matter either way, got to go where the work is….. dont mind working away just want paying for it that’s all……

Fair play to be honest I thought it was a bit of a joke when he said it today it’s one of the big outfits up on scotland too. No wonder company’s are struggling to get operators to sit on machines with that attitude.

Evening. so I’m looking for a bit of advice and wondering if I’m in the wrong. i have been operating a forwarder for about a year, had my fair share of ups and downs in that time but it’s starting to come together now. anyway the company I work for is moving me onto a new site 5hours away from home so need to get in digs. Apparently they don’t pay travel time or night out money because they are coughing up for a hotel according to my manager. so am I being unreasonable for wanting £25pn for being away or is this just how it is? what’s the going rate for working away, I feel like they are taking the p”ss
