Later start times

The new shift patterns being put forward all seem to be much later starts which will mean working in the dark in the winter and a security risk especially for our female colleagues, has anyone raised this in their office?

Many offices moved to 4:30pm or worse finishes 2 years ago and the same concerns fell on deaf ears, apart from the CWU saying they would look into improving them :hmmmm

I'd go as far to say it's been the single biggest reason people have left the job in these areas - coincidence? :roll:
