F*****g awful. Just found out that I'm being displaced in the revision and we're not having a resign. Gonna be a floater. 30 years and treated like a new entrant.
Doesn't there have to be a resign according to the CWU agreement?

It's not all bad being a float. There's a reduced expectation when you don't have a walk. D2ds not done, stuff brought back, 10 days mail under the frame. All things that duty holder may get pulled up for and a reserve won't.

To all readers, make sure with the varying lengths of shifts that you are not owed hours due to not having the correct days off. For example if you get more shorter days off you'll be owed time. A rotational day off usually fixes this if the management can do maths.

Who is going to force that to happen? In my office the manager couldn't care less about a resign, and the union rep has minimal seniority and would lose her walk if we had one.

Been delivering to this woman almost daily for over 12 years; she's never spoken until today.

She said her name was Alice.

Did she have a rabbit?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
