I dont want part of my break put on the end,I need the full 40 mins in the middle of the day where its supposed to be.Its the same mentality as those that leave all there break at the end of the duty,they end up tearing it up and taking shortcuts just to enable them to fit in the 40 mins they are owed.Its called a break cos its the break in the day your body and mind needs away from the job.POSTMAN wrote:Most offices will put part of their break at the end of their duty,add on travelling time back to the office and pouching off(on paper),you could look at a possibly finishing an hr before your duty actually finishes.
Last letter will be 3 0'clock,15mins back to the office,10 mins pouching off etc = half three finish.
I voted no but I'm pretty confident it'll get in,then I stop my subs.
Been union through and through for 20 plus years,but this is a terrible deal but its the deal we deserve because too few of us did the job properly to protect our working conditions.Every one moans at the union for not doing enough,but they warned us two years ago unless we start doing the job properly we're f****d,hardly anyone took any notice and look where we all are now.
The feeling behind my post is'nt a rant ,more sad disillusionment with the majority of the people I've worked with over the last couple of decades.
