Is that 75/25 by contract or by people booking up to f/t and getting p/t when on holiday/sick

we haven't had anyone made up full time in my office for 3 years

so are they gonna give them f/t contracts or just let them book it

it makes a huge difference

We recently had the union rep going around all AG's asking for indications of who would be interested in full time. Anyone else on here had this?

If they are saying 75% full time. it would have to be full time contract, otherwise it's no different to what is happening now. we have loads of AG's doing full time hours, then getting part time hours when on leave or sick.

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

If it's any help to the negotiating team I reproduce a little gem from an LTB dated March 2009

The following principles will form the basis of the new national delivery agreement.
1. Statement regarding future employment / job security
2. Statement on jobs being predominantly full time
3. Statement on CWU involvement at all levels
4. Statement on Georoute & revisions
5. Statement on earnings
6. Statement on D2D
7. Statement on national agreement
8. Statement on fair and manageable workload
9. Statement on PCOD
10. Statement on equipment
11. Statement on New technology/automation
12. Statement on estate/ working environment
13. Statement on duty structures
14. Statement on spans / specification including firms
15. Statement on trials
16. Statement on reward

And there it is in a nutshell - quite a big nut really but lets see how close this 12 month old reality check equates to the real Mccoy :whistle Oh and by the way these little gems were supposed to be resolved by .................... wait for it April 2009 - so that's one hell of an extension
