That's why we DID join a trade union BUT the nature of the beast has changed. What we expected from the union is no longer on offer. The union no longer puts it's members aspirations first - we should perhaps call it a mutual friendly society -

Here in lies the problem the union has been busy prostituting itself to private courier workers it can not fight our corner properly against the government and the dss etc using tnt, for fear of upsetting its new found members in the private sector, they should off load them to another union so they can fight for the Royal Mail workers who made the union what it is/was

If I was an employer I would certainly look at ways to get rid of contracts like that. I know it affects you considerably but looked at dispassionately it isn't the most cost effective method for productivity is it?

Did you find the managers tub of brainwashing pills and take a few?

Nope just a realist - one hours work, one hours pay, just like the vast majority of employees everywhere. It would be unlikely that you would get 8 hours you don't work on buy down - why not have the 8 hours you do work on buy down and just send you the 8 hours pay for the other 8 hours then you wouldn't have to work at all?

dvbuk55... thats a top idea, thats the sort of thinking we should have had a chance to debate when this whole thing started, instead of the rep skulking off and signing away my contract without any consultation input or ideas from us!

Joking apart booby - have you not checked if yours is a SPECIFIC CONTRACT i.e. one preserved for a specific task on a specific day? If your work plan has not changed, the work still needs to be done then there is no reason for your duty to disappear - under this agreement and under the flexibility element there is give and take and if you have family commitments specific to this duty then you should have your rep fight your corner.

........Our Union Rep "signed off" the agreement without any prior consultation with the staff! This was confirmed this morning by our Dom in the WTL.....And our Union Rep was not even there to explain why?????? Silly me! thinking that a few proposals would be put to us by our Union rep and that we could decide the best proposal for flexability!

Shafted Yet Again!!!

this rep has always been far too cosy with dom. even when strikes were on last year the rep was nowhere to be seen.

looks like its been signed so the managers will enforce lapsing walks from week 11 without a game plan if nothing is signed off so just work to rule from week 11 to 22

Linkinpark me and you are a dying breed all we want is FAIRNESS and EQUALITY Leighton and Crozier have done a great job they say, but i know i could have done thier job so could a trained Monkey so all these people who think that if they settle for a few changes everything will be alright are to be pittied because these FATCATS can never get enough i`ve said it before and i`ll say it again when the great Captains of industry agree to radical changes in thier contracts then i`ll consider changing mine
