My accident update

[stormforce]

HAd the meeting today and i got a reprieve for 3-4 weeks as the area manager is off sick so nothing can be done.
The union rep was good and there is a vacancy at out Par depot near
St Austell and the bosses are wanting that post to be put at Plymouth or Exeter.On paper it is still at the Par Depot so my name has been put on that job untill the unions and networkrail have had consultations.The union rep is going to get a full time union guy brought in now to take over my case and fight to get this post kept at Par.It will mean an extra 40 mile a day but if it keeps me in a job then so be it.
Networkrail have stated tho if this post does go to Plymouth or Exeter then it will be offered to me and if i refuse it then i will be laid off straight away due to ill health.
So here's to the union if they do the job right i will still have a job.
What a weight off of my shoulders today but i'm still not out the woods yet tho but one step closer

On top of everyhting else this week with my Dad in hospital i am now getting my notice next wednesday.There is no office jobs anywhere in devon and cornwall with networkrail so the time has come
The truck is playing up aswell.Its drinking coolant and the p/steering pump is leaking and the top end is rattling like hell.

Geeeeeeezzzzzzz Rich, it never rains it pours

Fingers crossed there is a silver lining for all them clouds round you mate.

Is it worth considering going it alone with the breaking / parts ?

i have been seriously thinking about doing this but i need somewhere more suitable for storing and stripping the trucks.Lucky enough Mandy's wages cover the mortgage just so its money to live off each month that we are in need off.I'm going to look into college courses aswell to see what is suitable for me and take it from there now

[Cant Get Right]

Hiya Rich, still ongoing eh. Sorry to hear mate. hope u get sorted soon

[stormforce]

Had the final meeting today and as from the 05/06/09 i will be laid off due to ill health.I could of finished today but at least i get an extra weeks pay from it.They have given me 30 days annual leave pay instead of the 23 days i should of got.7 weeks pay in lieu of notice and 2 weeks severance pay so in total i should come away with about £5500 in my hand.
My compo claim is still ongoing aswell so i hope that gets settled soon as i will be needing it asap

[Diezel Weazel]

Hope it all works out the way ya want it too..
Good Luck
