Post by unionjack0 »

Even as this deal was being fudged together, our dom was telling us that he,s been instructed to slash another 180 hrs a week from our smallish do by the area manager .Cuts due early in the new year, also he reckons he,s been to 3 presentations aabout our start times,where it looks like townies to work from 7to4 rurals 8to5 bang goes any afternoon sa as we all no ghosting is a definate no no.So do u think there will be anything n the agreement to address this or are we basically all f--cked.

If this is right, not just the customer but we the workers are really getting a raw deal. I took this job like others to finish early and workers do have commitments like picking the kids from school...soon you'll be getting a phone call from the head, but you'll be to busy to pick up the kids as you'll be delivering mail at 3pm. :arrrghhh This business is going backwards!
