I believe that drivers work a 36 hour week, but are only paid for 35.

Quite true, but this is compensated by the disgusting amount of
holidays that we apparently get!

Hmm. I wonder if LU will print the correct figure this time if they take
out anti strike adverts. When they quoted the figures before, I phoned the
number that they gave and they said they knew nothing about it and gave me
the human resources no. I told HR that what they quoted was a load of
******** and explained how the "holiday" total was broken down. They
seemed most surprised!. Mind you, given that they decided to class leave
as unauthorised absence on the pay slips, perhaps that means we're not
getting any holidays at all :-)
