Re: Been told today no working days off
Been told the same, no working days off, no OT at all. Being part time and with the strike days, it's getting tough. But I'd leave and get another job before crossing a picket line.

Re: Been told today no working days off
Intimidation is all they have left to beat us with.
They know the financial strain people are under, and they will continue to bombard us with daily reminders of this through daft propaganda leaflets and managerial threats in order to turn that screw.
The mail flow has slowed rapidly this weekend and is about to grind to a halt, then it will back up very quickly.
Fight on!

O/T in the office I work seems to be carrying on as normal. People working days off and overtime plentyful.
Really seems to differ from place to place at the moment.

Parcelforce member here! Depot was an absolute shambles yesterday! First time after a strike it has really been that way! Hopefully it was same up and down the country!

This is the best thing RM could do to help achieve our aims. Foot , in, shoot, the, yourself. Rearrange into a well know phrase or saying.

Re: Been told today no working days off
I think when the Thompson Illuminati team were round the drawing board a year ago they thought the planned cost of living crisis was going to hit harder than it has, most people in my office can afford to strike.
So the ban on days off etc, even though it’s what you wouldn’t do if you truly wanted to retain big customers, is a desperate attempt to artificially heighten peoples’ money problems.
That’s why he keeps reminding us how much money we’ve lost. We’re supposed to be thick enough to need reminding, and then worry loads about it when we’ve been told.

GOOD . Can't you lot out there see what your doing. You are shooting your self in the foot. If you want these strikes to end sooner rather than later. THEN STOP WORKING YOUR DAYS OFF AND STOP WORKING OVERTIME . ALL YOUR DOING IS HELPING SIMON TOSSPOT ACHIEVE HIS GOAL. I know it's hard losing a couple of days pay, but just see how hard it is with no pay at all when your out of a job.
