The company Kenny Millers dad works for aswell as myself have today penned notice to offer redundancies/ sackings of over 200 staff members. 160(all staff) @ Dalkieth and 40(@Musselburgh)depots.
http://m.firstgroup.com/ukbus/scotland_ ... ws/id/5451John(Jocky)Miller works at Dalkieth and is to be sacked, whilst my depot will select 37 of 77 drivers to keep on a point scoring system.
Last week my daughter turned 1 year old and this week I'm facing the prospect of being Jobless.
