Since there is 'no more' uniform....

Post by Pharox »

Since RM have 'No money for uniform but plenty for management bonuses', my trousers are looking a tad worn out around the pockets, crotch and and hem. I can order my trousers on RM's uniform site, but my size is all sold out. Are there any recommendation's for new replacement trousers? I hate to buy my own gear for work, but...

Sainsburys were doing some good combat trousers for about £20 I think? Very comfortable!

This is what I will be asking tmrrw
I need new trousers t shirts shoes
If we are not to be supplied them does that mean RM are not claiming tax expenses for uniform if they are they are defrauding the govmt ie us the public purse
And they will be
So in theory if I am forced to purchase clothing for work
I then can apply for tax rebates for expenses
(Not the cleaning one )
Again though how can we get uniform cleaning tax allowance if we are not getting uniform
Think I will ask for it in writing
Nb RM have a duty of care for us out on delivery with appropriate work wear

I went on the uniform tile on people app and was able to order shoes and stormcoat. Have you tried that?

It also said I had other allocations but for stuff I don't wear so I didn't bother.
