Let's talk about the weather - CWU Live at 5pm today

[tramssirhc]

Unite can represent workers in all matters except for grade specific bargaining

So when someone's on some sort of disciplinary charge and called in for a meeting with a boss, they call a Unite representative, who isn't allowed access to RM premises/is on leave/is busy doing something else/isn't familiar with RM rules/is miles away, what then? You're only given a reasonable amount of time to allow your rep to attend.
The CWU reps can be clueless enough, but add in someone who's never worked for RM and the possibilities for useless representation grow very quickly.

"I don't care how Bloggins Transport do it, RM doesn't do it like that and never have".


That's if the RM hierarchy will even let them in the building.

You may wish to spend some time brushing up on employment law. If you're in anyway connected to the CWU you are a prime example of their education.

Employment law lays down the principles; it doesn't somehow get around any of the difficulties listed above.

New contract folk to make a stand and refuse Sunday working. Can’t imagine the union backing it though but that would make the big wigs take notice.

A few months back when we were put on the Sunday rota, there were a few moans, and our manager actually said "if you don't like there's the door, it's in your contract".
