NEARLY 500 Shell tanker drivers are voting on a pay offer worth nearly 9% over two years which a union leader describes as a benchmark for the rest of the sector.
The Transport & GeneralWorkers Union abandoned its demand for an across-the board 9% pay increase two months ago. Instead it is concentrating on portable pension schemes (CM 12 May).
Ron Webb,T&G national secretary for road transport, says the Shell offer includes a 5% rise in basic pay rates with the rest made up from harmonisation of grades and improvements to bonuses: "I am expecting it to lay a marker down for the rest of the industry We are recommending it and hopefully it will go through."
The offer has been negotiated with Shell's delivery contractors Hoyer, JVV Suckling and Stiller. It follows more than 18 months of campaigning by the union to improve the pay and conditions of tanker drivers.
• In Scotland 20 tanker drivers for Inverness-based Robertson Oils who deliver to the Scottish Island are expected to reject a 3.5% offer T&G regional industrial organ her Tommy Campbell says: "Ou demand is for a minimum of 9%.' He adds that Elgin-based Gleane Oils has imposed a 35% increase 01 more than 20 drivers: "Teclmicall we are in dispute. We have said WI are quite willing to go to ACAS."
