bedding in period

Post by boardy »

My office is 2 weeks into the 6 week bedding in period and I would say 2/3rds of duties are either cutting off or claiming O/T.We have had the full package rolled out,walk sequenceing,Geo route,the works.They say its saved 69 hours per week but have cost them 180 hours in O/T last week, work that one out !!.They are now isolating the ones who are struggling,having there prep rates tested and I expect next week following them on delivery.Is there anybody out there who has been through this and could advise me on what would happen if our union rep doesn"t sign it off after the 6 weeks are up ?,will they force it in ?.And when should the 39 hour week be brought in ,before ,during or after the 6 weeks are up ?.

I'll answer your last question.It should have started 2 weeks ago.
The 39Hr week should have been what the revision was based on. :shock:
How can you bed in a revision and then chop an hour off everybody's week?
What was your planner/rep/DOM thinking about? :crazy:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Sadly some reps are in it for themselves, they couldn't care less what happens around the office.

Then get rid of them.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Steve i fail to see the logic in your thought as theres nothing to gain from this revision by anyone apart from failure .
