work time learning

Post by sjnb6 »

does work time learning still exist. our office doesn't. we may have a huddle on the shop floor very occasionally if any questions are asked that the manager doesn't like then it's meeting over. if we have any meeting it's very short as it will interfere with the summer savings and the reluctance to pay pressure o/t

Our last WTL was about 4 years ago now . We get the same as you DIM calls everyone to the sorting frames moans a bit then scurries off quickly back for his daily "conference" call

WTL are part of your duty as it is supposed to be built into it. Besides whats the point of those TVs RM spent money on? I think Moya will not be happy if she finds out the local management have cancelled the WTLs

I've probably had one in the last year and that was so a manager could have a good moan at us.

If you've got 78 staff - then 30 minutes WTLL for each one = 39 hours or one full time job.
If you don't want it just tell your DOM and he can cut another full time duty from the office.
Win Win. :crazy:
Well except for the person that loses their job but surely protecting jobs isn't something a trade union should concern themselves with at the expense of finishing early?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

In our office they hold (what I presume is WTL) before 9.am so only full-timers are in attendance. Have no idea what gets discussed.

we have a wtl every week since we went into DM a few months back has there been a few weeks we have been unable due to pressure to have these yes,but we then make sure that all those 30 minutes used are then accounted for in the iwt so that those above can see that those hours are not being used for there intended purpose.
