[noncwumember]

Has anyone heard what percentage of office hours are to be cut in next financial year, ie from beginning of April 2010.

5% minimum - but it's up to cwu (members) to put forward counter proposals

we're getting to the point in our office that when they say they want more hours out of us we just tell them to go ahead and do it, we will only work our contracted hours and we're at full to bursting point now, any more cuts just mean daily break offs and more grief for them. So far they've backed down every time we've said this.

You say any more cuts just means daily break offs, what are the consequencies of breaking off.

to us, nothing. As long as you're doing your job properly there's nothing they can do.

Is that 5% in each DO or 5% in all MCs and DOs?

We do the job 100% correctly but still get threatend with suspension for not working hard enough.
Think under this new agreement no cut offs will be allowed ,we will see.

how can break off not be allowed, if they said that then they could put 6 rounds together and say you have to finish, it's just ridiculus.

And we also get threatened with all sorts of things if we do the jobs properly but the management have never actually done any of them, simply because they can't.
