If your the floater then it is your duty when they are on day off, so tell your lino you wish to stay on your duty and find them something to do on day off. END OF.

We've had this before,and streetstomper is right,these c***s are taking the piss,they want to work their day of and someone is already on their duty then tough,do another duty.
Rep should stop this but then again,reading about some of them on here...

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It shouldn't really matter what round your on, just work your time and send the mail back when you've finished. Its their problem if they wish to mess you about. Just make sure you do your hours for the day.
I do believe that floaters should stay on the walk.

Aye got the same problem here,cover five jobs and for the last six months only done two of them week in week out.
AR dosnt want to push it and operational needs gets trotted out,i put some of the blame on the members in my office,they
know its not right but like a helluva lot of other s**t are too self centred and selfish to be arsed doing the right thing
and look after the guy/girl stood next to them as well as themselves.

Don't get me wrong about this but isn't everyone doing the same job when your on a walking duty.

Depending on your contract, you do the following ips, prep, and deliver. Now if the duty is to big or it recieves alot of mail then just work your hours and say your cutting off, its that simple.

this is happening in our office a senior man was kicked off his walk to make way for casuals.
unfortunately, nothing they can do about it, unless they go sick.

I thought one of the reasons we went on strike last year was because duty holders were being moved off the duty they had signed for to enable lapsing.
But people only want fairness when it applies to them. Otherwise it is alright to kick the floater off the duty s/he signed for to enable them to work their day off?
The dickheads we work with are truly beyond belief.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

in our office its always been the case the floater that holds a duty,can refuse to get moved off it
i totally agree on this.however many times the floater will move if its a 'better' duty
i did that very thing just the other day getting 'moved' from my worst floating duty to my best :nana
