Reserves always seem to get Tuesdays off, well we do in my office, because its an easy day for management to cover, totally wrong :no no
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Well we cannot accept this as it is designed to remove full time jobs and improved attendaces and certainly in London we have made it clear that this cant be part of the interim agreement.
Does that mean we are back on the picket?

being a reserve is always difficult for days off to rotate but you should always get your long weekend every 6 weeks.

This was flagged up to the CWU as soon as absorbtion arrived because we knew the reserves would all get dumped on a tue day off.

Still waiting for an answer :cuppa
