Personally I can`t see the point of reverting back to regualr saturdays simply because you end up going into work 1.5 hrs earlier to only end up finishing 15 minutes sooner... :d'oh!

Would sooner spend that extra time in bed...

Also a lot of DO`s over this way are saying that if saturdays do go back to 5 am then mailsort is going back in to gaurantee people work their hrs.. :arrrghhh
it depends on youre office finish times..
our old times were 0500-11.30

our new times are 0600-1400

so in our office thats 2hr 30 minutes more..

give me the old times any day..

Firstly, if I hadn`t received my ballot paper within a few days of my colleagues I`d have been asking questions of my union rather than waiting for the result to be announced.
Secondly I`m afraid a lot of those in RDCs and MCs would have looked at the agreement and shrugged saying "a lot of this doesn`t affect us just service delivery, so I`ll look after number 1, screw them".
Personally I voted NO not only because it`s a poor deal but also thinking ahead. If they close my place of work and my only option was to find another job that paid similar money or go on delivery then that is more than likely where I`d end up so it`s in my interest as well as my colleagues to protect that job and its conditions.

So er, what difference do the numbers make then? If we voted yes, we voted yes. Funny how the numbers on the original vote weren't up for scrutiny. You lot remind me of a kid who on losing monopoly, throws the board in the air. Grow up kiddy winkies, the real world is for dooers - not talkers. Ok so you're shafted, stop bleating.

I work in an RDC, and although at first there was a lot of people thinking that it didn't effect them. Eventually, most of them were forced to admit that it WOULD effect them after all. From what I could find out, the majority of my Collegues voted no.
