Well despite all the stories of a Saturday Shafting it was quiet a steady saturday, mind ou that might be becuase I only took 1/2 the sky mags (we got 2 days) and absolutley no MS3, but best of all and to bore you all again I am now off for 2 weeks.

.
But because of off-line commitments I will still be around on RMC.

Really busy day today, loads on. We recently changed our hours and work 7 on the Saturday. Theres no way that the hours will be matched correctly against the traffic every day.

Carew are you full time? If you are i would imagine that IPS is on your 318. I quite enjoy the sorting and especially when it takes longer. It means you are not ready to leave the office till much later and that means cut offs!! You only have to work your hours.

Not sure if there is a general rule. In our office we let the DOM know the day before if we would like him to ring us if there is any sick.

Likewise and as a call to me on my mobile is no louder than the alarm I use on it to wake me up - it doesn't really disturb anyone. I would take a call to ask if I was free for overtime as a help request - not harassment, people can always refuse but sometimes the extra few quid is a pleasant surprise.

Just put in a grievance and he won't do it again. Mention it to your rep that you want a local agreement on procedure for it.

I've had a sh*tter of a day. After 1 hour of IPS I got shoved unwillingly onto a vacant rural, said my finishing time was 1pm so manager made me stream out stuff and I still brought back about an hour's worth of delivery. Found out when I got back that the manager also scammed me out of 2 hours pay for Saturday when I came in on my day off for union consultation and planning, which is paid leave. Not a happy bunny, he also hasn't replied to a written letter requesting reply for today. Trouble is I'm running out of grievance forms..

Today is not too bad, but it is not easy as it is new walk day which mean learning the rack and walk. Hate it.

Tomorrow there should be lot of packet for all of us to deliver as GTA IV is out. I hope none of them is recorded delivery.
