I think you are entitled to have one long weekend every 6 weeks(like every other five dayer) if you are a reserve .See your rep

God this stuff crops up a lot,how disorganised some offices are!!

1 There should be a reserve list based on seniority,that's how the reserves pick their duties.NOT MANAGERS!!

2 Although you should have a reserve seniority list,you should also keep an eye out on the top reserves taking all the long weekend/sat off duties.
You should keep some kind of average so even though you are low on the list you still get a chance to have a long weekend or at least a sat off the same amount as the others.
It wont be perfect but it will be more fairer than if there weren't an average.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
