Kammac plc withdraws notice of its intention to vary their drivers contracts of employment
7/12/2011
The United Road Transport Union (URTU) has received written confirmation from Kammac plc, Skelmersdale that the notice to vary drivers contracts of employment, which included the removal of paid breaks, has now been withdrawn. As a result of this written confirmation, the URTU has confirmed that the proposed strike action, due to commence on Saturday 10 December, will now not take place.
URTU Regional Officer, Lee Pimbley, said;
"Drivers employed at Kammac are some of the lowest paid drivers in the industry. If the company had proceeded with the proposed variation to contracts this would have meant that a driver, working a normal five day shift from Mon - Fri, would have had a drop of earning of over £25 per week.
"Overall this has been a good result for our members. It has shown that strength in solidarity has achieved the objective. Our members should be applauded for all their efforts in resisting their employer's attempt to reduce their earnings".
