Although it doesn’t mention grocery delivery drivers in the report, they actually get paid more than that at the moment, £13.50 per hour before the rise. They also have ‘promotional ‘ offers, whereby you get not just 10 but 15% off Sainsbury’s and Argos.

Is it asking too much of him to put us on the same wage as a premiership footballer?

Seems fair in my opinion.

Yes, if one analyses pay as a proxy for importance to society then truly they were the real key workers all along. :wink:
The machine stops.

Obsess is a strong word.

Why would I not take an interest in my own wage bargaining?

It may not be that simple for many of our colleagues. There are a lot of factors as to why someone may wish to stay with the company that might not be fully in their control.

For crying out load, this is like a manager saying "if you don't like the job, you know where the door is", I am only 35 in 2 days so didn't live throuth said era, but this to me is maybe like the 80s with Yosser HUghes saying gis a job! I have tried before to leave but it's hard, especially if you don't have a driver's license like me, which makes it even harder!

Yeah I agree, it's more to do with actually earning the money this job deserves, no way should it be what we get now for the ammount of work we do, the responsibility we have, the adverse weather we work in, the people skills we need etc,
