Total Flexability

[sgtbilko]

Talking to our acting Dom on Wednesday he told me that at the management meeting on Tuesday the DSM said the agreement gave management "total flexability" .Now i dont know what he meant by this but it really doesnt sound good for us posties,The Dsm woulnt say anymore on the subject of the agreement but he said it gave management full control.This is just info iam passing on i have no knowedge as to what was meant by "Total flexability"or any other management jargan.

Giving management full control and total flexibility = they're getting one kettle each, so they can drink coffee at ANY time of day or night

Well we had to expect scare stories.

IMO this means start times will be aligned to the volume of mail, so for example later starts on Tuesday than Thursday. Basically a do as you're told, work when you're told mentality, can't wait

Total crap but if they do get total flexablity the union better getting more reps in for the bullying and harassing that will go on in each do's and mail centres. I'm glad i go back to uni at the end of the year. I'm still to see the deal but me thinks our union is out of touch with its merry man.

Who's to say that your DOM isn't yanking your chain? Sounds like the type of mind games they play, especially if they think they can get away with it - you will need to go through the agreement with a fine toothcomb, then if he mentions flexibility or any other crap like it again, ask him to quote the relevent part of the agreement and if he can't tell him to poke his flexibility up his aris!

It does not take einstein to work out there is an equal and opposite reaction so TOTAL FLEXIBILITY is meet with TOTAL SOLIDARITY!.

Flexability was part of the 2007 agreement, in our office we already have shorter Mondays, Tuesday, longer, saturdays. Also Night Staff if behind with work have to stay up to 30 minutes beyond their finish time , then start 30 minutes later the next day .
