Never heard of such a thing, being told to work day off to make up for sick day. Outrageous! Does this have any bearing on the national strike (unofficial walkout)? Read elsewhere about a walkout in Oxford.

Thanks for the messages of support colleagues. Keep 'em cming but we also need to show it now to Oxford MC who walked out earlier today.

That's gotta be utter b*llocks (I think that's the legal phrase) about making up hours if you recklessly go and get yourself ill.

Would they attempt to get someone on a Mon-Fri duty to come in Sat/Sun if they were ill for two days during the week ? NO

Have Royal Mail bosses been inspired by watching DVDs of 'Life On Mars' and been time-warped back to the Victorian age all of sudden ?

FIGHT THIS. EVERY CWU MEMBER IS BEHIND YOU !!!

does it mean if you have 21 days off sick and work back all 21 you may get that car if they bring it back in.

what happens if you work too many days off sick back does that mean you have to go sick again,has anyone got any official papers on this i cant get my head round this idea at all

We are entitled to sick pay. You are not obliged to make good the hours that you missed when you were off sick, the manager is talking utter bullshit. Speak to your union rep for confirmation of what I'm telling you !

The DSM has given us an "assurance" that people who were changed to a 5 day week would be put back on 6 if they wanted, that existing work patterns will be retained, that only new starters will go on 5 days, and that people who lost days through sickness will get them back. He also said to the whole office with the DUM listening that these practices (re sickness) were wrong and would stop, which looked like he was giving the DUM a public bollocking. But he won't sign the agreement with the union binding him to these things. And we don't know to what extent the DSM and the DUM are doing a double act for our benefit.
The DUM is convinced that 5 weeks on and 1 off is responsible for the high sickness rate at NDO, and the DSM is backing him. He's on a f*cking mission.
