the uso wasn't in force when the 9:30 delivery +second deliveries were about but i know that we left sh*t loads this morning came from the mail centre to late
as we only work the hours we are paid and there is no incentive to work anything over our time as flexi does not hapen saturday at all as per agreement on pay and mod (neither do i personaly flex anyway during the week days) :nana
