Our dim came out with a cracking one during the week.
We had a lorry break down so the mail arrived late which ment we all got out the door late some of the lads went to him to cut off and were told "you can't cut off today because the lorry broke down" WTF :crazy:
I'd rather have Lockheed deliver the mail than ride around in a plane built by the post office

Ummmm errrrrr - in his mind he is right - it sounds as though he tried to impose the 30 minute flex thats in the P&M2007 agreement - however personal circumstances should have been taken into account. Did he give out those letters that some DOMs do when people refuse. :crazy: :crazy: :left: :left: :left: :left:

They have to give you 24hr notice for change of hours and you can only be asked to do it to help with work load, you can not be forced to do it!!
