FOLLOWING MONTHS of concern over the Working Time Directive,we are now six weeks in.The biggest worry I had was how it would affect my earnings, but! find that by being careful with the mode switch there is no change.! arrive at drop-off/pickup points and ask if there will be any delay, then set the mode accordingly. Now I know how long it will be before I am attended to things can work out better than before the WTD was introduced.
lf,as the unions wanted, periods of availability counted towards the 48-hours, my week would have ended after four days, resulting in a drop in wages. Ron Webb (left), said in an interview he would like to be remembered for being instrumental in bringing in the 48-hour week (CM16 October 2003). If he really wanted to be remembered by drivers he should have tried to get us better and safer parking, A good night 's sleep every night is better for road safety than banking your sleep time for 17 weeks.
