Although your workplace may not (yet?) have a recognised trade union, there's nothing preventing you from joining one and...

Re: Yamaha MT125 VVT

Re: Employment terms contracts?
Presumably you get paid for the bank holidays as well?

If you're going to Ye Honda Shoppe, ask them about servicing costs for the VFR.
Make sure you're sitting...
