    .Rate should be €14 - €15ph giving the level of responsibility you have

    No wonder their profits are up in the Billions.

    The news is handy. There are social care workers in this country who are paid considerably less than 14-15e per hour, who take care of people with extreme and undiagosed mental disabilities, on nights - at times by themselves.

    Tesco loose between 14 and 22 Euro per delivery- the charges they make bear little semblence to the cost of providing the service. Also- far from them making billions- their profits are plummeting- and they have made a loss in Ireland in each of the past 2 quarters (which they are blaming on excessive use of couponing by customers).

    Tesco are in fact in severe financial difficulty.

    Finding it hard to imagine they are losing 22 quid per delivery. Why do it? Aldi and Lidl don't deliver.

    I haven't heard about the couponing thing, it was dodgy accounts practice going on. They also shouldn't be losing money on coupons.

    As for their hiring policy, it's dire from What I've seen in the shops. The two van lads I dealt with were sound though.

    I dont think the drivers will get paid anymore than the regular Tesco Staff. Anyone on decent money in Tesco now will have been there 18 years+. New staff will have different contracts with increments after 18 and 36 months

    Haddington road agreement does not apply to tesco delivery drivers.

    Just to clarify.

    It's not exactly a 4 year degree + experience type job is it. Don't see why it should be payed like one. You are essentially, carrying plastic trays a few meters from a van and back, and then driving a van.

    No offence meant but if Tesco drivers can get 600-900 per week as some suggest then thats very strange. There are many professional engineers, scientists and Accountants on less.

    Husbands old job involved both HGV and delivery driving. It involves a lot more than your description. It's not all urban, but deliveries to rural areas, where the roads aren't even wide enough for two cars sometimes. On the road, drivers have to contend with all sorts of shenanigans - the guys out for a quick claim, less-competent drivers, jay-walkers. He was put in fear more than once on early morning runs by fellas fancying that he had money on board. The company truck was parked outside our house and broken into three times, as well as having the diesel tank drilled and emptied twice. It's all-weather, not sitting inside a nice warm dry office all the time. There's a lot more I could say, but I'm sure you get the gist.

    I find it incredibly snobby, the insinuation that just because a person went to college and earned a degree or other form of so-called "higher education", that their job automatically entitles them to a higher rate than a skilled employee.

    If there was a rule against thread necromancy I'm sure old threads would be locked. Doesn't make what I said any less valid. Why do people get so wound up about old threads being revived? Another forum I post in actually encourages you to check if the topic is already/has already been discussed.
