sorting standards and the right hand

Post by not me »

something to consider for those in the minority.
all of the sorting standards and RM frames are set on right handers
the frame is the wrong way round for a left handed worker
what would be RMs or the unions take on that?

There is no doubt. They don't care.They're not interested in anything but feathering their own nests whilst making our life a misery.

they wont care but to me it renders any timed standards they have as moot to a leftie
the frames are the wrong way round if they want to talk about standardised performance

Personally I think left-handedness is a mental impairment and all lefties should be covered under the DDA.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Surely you should be able to use either hand, I personally can switch between them without much trouble :nervous

The point is, if they start throwing the standards at you and saying you aren't throwing off fast enough, just point out that you are left handed, and that you demand a left- handed sorting frame. If that doesn't work, ask to watch them sort with the left hand :Very Happy

If you're left handed just be thankful you've got a job. :Very Happy
When I were a lad anyone left handed was a witch who should be burned at the stake. :shock:
