They did not even veil the threat in this exhortation to getting you NMS reports right. I don’t have UCC in front of me but from memory I didn’t think KPI failure could be called a “breach of contract” under that version – 2010 Contract holders, however, take note.
I don’t want to do CLA 54 to death, in comparison to last years shambles and the current uncertainty regarding the future of the scheme, this is obviously only small beer.

First days back are never good. Today is no different, in fact it is made worse than usual by a pile of correspondence including some from the LSC most “on message”, i.e. least helpful and empathetic, operatives.
