its up to you blue

Now im not knocking P/T here and i honestly feel the contracts you lads are on are disgusting as you virtually do the same as a F/T but its the P/T we have to have words with the most in our office. When looking at it they could have the most to gain in money terms as everyday they would be booking docket .

funny about 90% of our DO use their cars, and it's all the old-timers who do it. i questioned them about it once and they looked sheepish and tried to laugh it off. everyone asked me why don't you use your car and i said it was against my principles. also i would miss the banter on the van

also wondering how these P/T in other offices can afford to use their cars? it must cost f-loads in petrol???

Really you should expect a little more from the old timers and good on you for having your own principles dont let any of them tell you other wise.

Thorb you can if you have a vote on it and the vote is passed in favour by the whole office then everyone knows were they stand. ... By the sounds of it you and your rep could put this point across on the damaging effects these actions are having very well. Unless you try buddy you will never know dont live in a world of IFS and BUTS, at least think to yourself "well i tried"

I've raised this with our rep. He said, "it's a good idea but it wont work because they'd never turn up for the meeting. Nor would they comply with with any decision made". It's a valid point, it's not that they are unaware of the effects of their actions, it's more that they dont care. I'll raise it again after christmas when we have more time to think.
I'm glad for you that your unit is strong. I'm afraid ours gets what it deserves.

Thorb there will be many meetings held after new year, it is at these meetings you and your rep have the opportunity once and for all to get the whole office singing from the same hymm sheet.

Good luck to you and your rep on this issue.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
