Fuck 'em...I if I was in their situation and I wanted (or even NEEDED) to work to make up the shortfall, I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be able to stop me legally. Temping job it would be then.
I'm a bit with Ironside here, how can they legally stop them from looking for another job? |

With all due respect Reg, that's not much consolation to those who are feeling it now.
FFS not like they've been completely made redundant...shit happens. |

So you're being paid 60% of what you're used to, which is probably not enough to cover your costs (given that most of us do not have the luxury of 40% take home pay as disposable income). You can either sit around for 4 months watching Trisha or get out there and do something on the side that keeps the finances ticking over.
Of course Honda workers are going to try earning a little extra. And the very best of luck to every one of them. There but for the grace of God...

Honda still have money though Johnny, therefore they can still pay and surely by law still have to pay you.
Contracts are signed for a reason mate, just go up to the Nip cunts and tell them that Swindon ain't in Japan innit.

Did you sign an employment contract or not? If so they can't just change it as it suits them.

Is the 50 or 60% their basic wage?
Might sound like a cunt, but they should base their mortgage/living around this wage then the bonuses they get are an extra...

So you're being paid 60% of what you're used to, which is probably not enough to cover your costs (given that most of us do not have the luxury of 40% take home pay as disposable income). You can either sit around for 4 months watching Trisha or get out there and do something on the side that keeps the finances ticking over.
60% of the pay is during April/May - Full basic pay is being paid during Feb/March as this will go up to the 250 hrs that are to be banked - The retrieval of the banked hours will be overtime, work 2 hrs overtime, it will reduce your minus hours owed to Honda. Saruday working, not pay, hours reduce of the banked hours ....
No-one has mentioned that Honda is also writing off 120hrs which will not be used to be 'banked' So technically production staff are received full basic pay for 370hrs and only having to 'work' back 250hrs .... |

Hindsight is a wonderful thing ay? How many people push things to the limit to buy the best place they can - and indeed have been encouraged to do so? Hope things pick up for all at Honda, I was unemployed for a while in the late 80's but that was a breeze as a single young man with no kids to support - very different situation for those with families... |

Well not exactly...there is family Tax Credit. If your income drops below a certain level, then you get it made up... |
