Shrewsbury Clawback

Post by BDR »

Union Rep is still going along with clawback (lose half days AL or do 4 hours UNPAID OT) after Tuesdays suspension of deliveries. Glad it was my day off :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana .Perhaps he is the only rep in the country who still thinks its National Agreement. :Boo hoo! :Boo hoo! :Boo hoo! :Boo hoo! .

Apparently they volunteer to pick which option they lose. Luckly I wasn`nt working Tuesday so it did`nt affect me but I would like it sorted out before nextime.One Rep is new to it but his collegue has got 20+ years as Rep so he should know better.

Doubt is setting in in DOMs office. He might have got wrong advice from higher up. When you get caught out blame it on someone else.

Only firms, town centre and anyone else who thought they could deliver their walk safely, went out! Drivers were doubled up in case of falls!
We were given the option to work indoors but were also offered the half day holiday or clawback if we wanted to go home.

Oh i see. If you took the half day i wonder if you could take the option of coming in for 4 hours to prep a round and then go home :Very Happy I would guess its the other way and they would expect you to take it out. :sad:

We all went into work! It was after we had prepped that the DOM told us we weren't going out!

Yeah get that :Very Happy But i mean is if you went home and took half a days leave could you choose what part of the day you want to work when taking the other half. If that makes any sense :crazy:

This is the dangerous part in my opinion.
Agreeing to go home after having it clearly explained that you will owe the time back if you do..... is not the same as being sent home.
If you were offered the chance to stay and work and declined then you have....accepted the alternative...it makes it tricky...

Agreed! We weren't sent home, we were offered the opportunity! Me? Sent out on bulk deliveries so it didn't affect me!
