At present its 13-00, though most of us dont take a break and finish at 12-20, but thats by streaming and cutting off, otherwise with the amount of mail we get on Sats now it would be around 60 or90 minutes later. So at present its just possible to get to play local football and cricket with a 2pm start time, but in the future that looks very unlikely unless this proposed agreement is changed or voted out. Just cannot see the logic of it, and I've thought long and hard about it belive me.

My hours now on a saturday are 07:15 to 15:15. I have to go like a lunatic to see my beloved footie. Thanx to this wonderful new deal it will mean the end of 30 years of supporting my team - needless to say its a big no from me on the vote!!!

I dont want to finish at 3pm any day of the goddam week, let alone a Saturday.

You cannot legally take 40 mins at the end of your shift. :no no

"Appropriately scheduled meal breaks ( consistent with relevant working time legislation)"

I assume that would mean a saturday as well otherwise the CWU and RM will look a little silly not to mention in contravention of H&S regulation. :hmmmm

The difference was it was your choice to pick a rural and in case you haven't noticed rurals will move to 4pm.
Your solidarity is much appreciated. :cuppa
