Dear oh dear that's gonna hurt Swindon as a town, there's also gonna be 1,400 redundancies (told this by a Honda employee).  Hope it all turns out okay for the staff.

if we get payed is up to the associate representative council agreeing with certain policies eg banked days of non production wich they want to recover in future years.

THis is a classic mistake.
Peolpe should never take bonus and overtime payments into account when budgeting for everyday items.  Still hard times and a big knock on effect for Swindon businesses and Swindon Town football club.
