Given Simple Simon`s almost hero-worship of everything Amazon, I wonder how he feels about their staff walking out over their laughable 35p pay rise?

35p an hour for us equals £12.95 a week for full timers. That's better than our enforced 2% .

Blimey I didn’t realise that was 27p an hour. That’s a whopping £9.39 a week pay rise. All that extra lapsing, stress of my bills going up and 27p an hour rise. Gee thank you so much. I feel so appreciated :nana

I’ve noticed in the news recently most firms are offering between 5% and 15% with no strings attached. My shopping delivery man told me he has 24 drops a day. He is on a little less than us but as he said, he doesn’t go home as knackered as you lot and I’m not worked like a dog.

If the board see that then it will be considered for next years Pay & Change talks.

What?
They do self-service in Tesco, you know.
Bloody CWU. Always stifling change…”

Think it was more like him giving her his package.

As we have to van share do we take it in turns to give the customers our 'packages' or can we both be active at once. Asking for a friend.
