P40 Sorting Checks

[johnnyp]

Do any of you bods have these at your gaffs?
Our Dom would like to start them,saying its all about improving quality,no one will get disciplined,its all about trying to cut down on missorts on the IPS.

I've had a couple in all the time I've been on IPS (always 100%) but then I know more about the sorting than any of the managers

[not me]

we have had them and expect them to return
our dims got dragged over the coals last week on quality of service
managers now on conduct code
this week we have test letters,frame checks etc et aplenty
yes all the stuff they should have been doing anyway but now its in overdrive

[Mr Blonde]

I had one done today. The boss checked mine but didn't bother with the little idle bastard on the next frame who deliberately goes slow because he knows that everyone else does the sorting.

We were told in December we had sorting checks in the new year. as well as the IPS and frame timings, but they seemed to have dropped those in favour of office indoor element testing so they can cut 20+ full time positions for part time ones of 22.5 hours.

When are the Union going to do something about the way these cuts are being implemented, if they dont fight it soon there will be no FT jobs left.

Isn't that pointless,WBM'S are a year or so away,and how long does it take to walk round a frame and put your missort in.

A Manager here who has just been made up told me he knew over a year ago whilst training,

I'm shocked............................not at what the manager told you but that they actually get training

Still i have not seen any VR letters come by my office or buy back of hours being offered??? I think they struggle at the moment with handbacks in my office never mind a cut in hours ..

We had vr's and buy down letters last summer but they must have got lost in the post cause we haven't heard anything since

look if you run a business and you could possibly have 40,000 redundancies whats the best way to avoid it.by p*ssing off the workforce so they leave voluntarily.also by constantly attacking terms and conditions ,excessive workloads ,targetting the unfortunate people who are off sick it will save them alot of money.

It must be close on three years since we had the letters because I got buy down 3 years ago this May - I asked for VR but didn't get it - I still keep asking. The ruling then was you could go back to full time after two years - that was a joke of course because how many full time vacancies have there been in the last two years.
