Bad news for part timers!!

Post by AnotherLimey »

Word is out and it's not good...

Under the new deal part time workers have this to deal with.

1 Door to door... no payment (full timers to receive 80 pounds)
2 Walks to be preped in thier own time.
3 No cut offs allowed (any overtime to be absorbed)
4 10 minutes break (full timers allowed 1 hour or 2 hours if over 20 years service)
5 20 pounds lump sum (full timers 5 grand)
6 Absorbed into duty the cleaning of all fulltimers cars (outside thier home as full time people are home earlier)
7 All part timers must change dutys to suit a full time worker wanting to work his day off on his or hers own duty.
8 Part timer not allowed to join the union (why should they as they have it easy?)
9 All part time staff to take a pay reduction of 6% over the next three years.
10 Part time staff to beg thier DOM weekly for more hours (On a 22 hour contract but in reality doing 30-50 hours a week)

Bring it on El Cartero :chuckle

(Was kidding but reading it back is very scary how true some of it is :shock:)

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

El, I have told you, others have told you. Yes you DO get a break but you choose not to take it.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
