Just like the rest of the agreement, eh?
It's crap, well in my opinion anyway, yes the union are trying to get equal pay for all but at the expense of some working the butt off to fund others.

We in our office have 3 DTD without fail and will delivery gods knows how many in the future due to being in a good advertising area while those that had few or none will get the same reward, yes i know DTD going into the workload will mean it's factored into my hours but i can see them saying 4 is the average and everytime it's above that we will be fooked :roll:
Keep hearing bout D2D being built into workload & been told it already is done in works time, but with the current decline in traffic year on year according
to RM, all that will happen is they will say that the 2d2 can be prepped up in the same amount of time like now, our rep thinks a del maybe put in once it
is counted in workload, told DOM this - he said he would love to put a del back in, but the idea is to reduce costs not increase them, so he doubts that is
likely to happen :cuppa :cuppa
