Re: Summer savings?
Yep, ours is still going strong.
Massive failure today, 2nd time this week and we've still got 2 days to go.
Still, all this money they're saving will help with the o/t bill.

Ours is going strong too,mostly at the start of the week. Manager had to do his share last week,and ours,after his begging and bribery fell on deaf ears.

Re: Summer savings?
Ours stopped Tuesday, unpredictability of the traffic volumes means we lapse one day and can't the next so continuity is affected......so no more lapsing.....so we win

Re: Summer savings?
Phase 3 is ALL YEAR ROUND is for absence or reduced workload and to be done where time permits.
Phase 2 is summer lapsing and there should be extra A/L slots for those weeks
Also the 2007 agreement says Utilise ALL paid work hours.

Re: Summer savings?
Our DOM has decided to laps Mondays and Tuesdays only on the proviso that we complete our duties the rest of the week. Don't do me any favours, i will only work my hours,which suits me just fine. Monday and Tuesday failed anyway

Re: Summer savings?
We do lapsing every day. Even the stand in DIM last week said he would like to cancel lapsing due to the massive volume of mail coming in but he couldn't because there were no staff spare to cover it? 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?
