Its not so much contract of employment its the company policy is changing and there trying to get all the engineers to sign a bit of paper accepting it and authorising the company to take out there wages
Every engineer i know some were along the road of the life of the van has a knock or 2 its working van working in bad environments and also look at things ure sometime your asked to carry in your van.
I can see there point with the cost they must have to pay to lease companys to get the lease vans back up to a standard but i think its unfair to pass it onto engineers.
I think this one policy they are going to lose a lot of engineers i just some how cant see anyone signing it
