DRIVERS FOR logistics firm Christian Salvesen will receive a 24% pay rise and their hours will fall to 48 a week ahead of the Working Time Directive. The deal with the Transport & General Workers Union covers 2,200 workers across the UK. The
hourly rate for Class 1 drivers rises from £5.98 to £7.88; the company has also agreed to meal allowances and shift pay being paid as an hourly rate for every hour worked. Steve Turner, T&G national secretary for road transport says: "The WTD will improve life for
Britain's drivers, and this deal shows that it can be achieved without loss of pay."
Brian Gaunt, Salvesen's UK MD adds that the deal will help driver recruitment and retention, while the flexible daily scheduling will enable it to plan effectively.
