Have you had a revision since BT2010 was voted in?

If yes and it was a sequenced mail revision then your total working hours for each day added together should come to 39 hours.

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

Anybody actually had this happen yet? Told by our DIM that they can't workout how to do it so it has gone by the wayside.

Also what about one saturday in 4 off, extra time being allocated to do more D2D's, and D2D's being put in envelopes to make prep easier, so many promises broken :crazy:

"d2d being put into envelopes to make prep easier" that was always a non-starter, there is no way in hell that the companies sending out d2d would want their items put into an envelope (even if another company's d2d was in another envelope) as it would make it too easy for the end customer to bin their d2d without even looking at one item.

The 39 hour week I can't see that happening as it would probably mean having to put duties in as most MCs will only just clear by the end of their shift even in the summer
