drinking while sorting

[dudleylicious]

Up in Jockland they are even trying to stop us from talking while we sort ,for feck sake insane I know but true.

When one guy goes for a Jimmy Riddle the dim comes & asks where he's went to.
So now we all go for a pish at the same time

[islfor]

Challenge them if they have a drink & piss !!!

[soltan]

Stop work and go for a drink

[mclovin]

We have food, drink, talking, dancing and generally messing about.

If the gaffer says anything about the last 3 I tell him to use protocol and prep/sort test us, he always buggers off after going quite red in the face.

Stools were removed from our IPS frames as the DOM feels one can sort faster standing up.

[tragictramp]

stools could cause a hygiene problem tho so i inderstand his point lol

Legally, they must supply the Access to clean drinking water-so if they do not allow you to drink at the frames, just leave the floor. Seriously, because of all the dust flying around, I have to take constant sips of water all the time,
or else I choke and cough my way through the sorting.I would also remind them of guidlines that came down during the heatwave.
As for talking, we have been forcibly discouraged for years,what fun it is working for this company.Ditto stools--just after we had the new frames put in, we were told by the Union, we couldn't use them, as the height was wrong!
perhaps the compant could supply us with those bottles you hang round your neck?

Have you tried having a Facemask?
There's a couple of people use them where I am. I admit, they do make you look a bit wierd. But they seem to be effective, and they're cheap. So the cost shouldn't be used as an argument against issuing them.

But you're right about the water though. Everyone should have access to drinking water.

Sadly, the fibres in both paper tissues, and masks would still have an effect, believe you me, if i could wear one,
i'd have it on all the time to protect me from the noxious smell emminating from my male counterparts!
but, the mob must let you have access to drinking water.

A mask would be potentially useful to stop that constant whiff of bull-Sh*t coming from the Dom and their office.

Nice one!

same in our office as long as the work is done our dom is happy,
in fact our dom will even make us a cup of tea and bring it to the sorting frame
