Being Sent To Other Offices

[coxie]

we had a briefing in WTL and the DOM said after the revision people could be sent to other offices, fair enough because I was under the impression they have to arrange your transport but our DOM says we have to arrange our own. Can anyone confirm or point me to the document that says otherwise so I can ram it up his arse?

What permanment transfer.
Or adhoc on occasions to help out.

[coxie]

on occassions is what I am talking about, sorry

[gb93]

Yes there is something on that subject.
Not computer literate myself to post official agreement.
But sure Fish or Postman will help you before too long.

Working in nearby offices – Areas will identify and agree with the CWU
locally a approach (which could include the use of volunteers and
reserves) to working in nearby offices within employees’ contracted
hours which will include travel times and appropriate travel and
subsistence arrangements.

And there is no newer agreement that overrides that?

The only newer ones are BT2010 which makes no mention of it, and an updated MTSF agreement which has no bearing on it - At least as far as I know.

Nope.
Unless there is some wonderfull local agreement in place.

And BT2010 states that...

This agreement reaffirms the 2007 Pay and Modernisation Agreement

So....it is what it is.

Funny,managers know about flexing,lapsing,absorption and so on,but they don't know about this one.

[coxie]

[coxie]

one more thing, he was also talking about sending people to work at other offices permanantly, can he do this if so to who and how?

He may be talking about surplus non drivers...

Q. What if an individual is unable to drive i.e. no driving licence or cannot drive for health reasons?

A. If there are employees in your unit that are unable to drive you will need to consider what other duty options are available. You may need to accommodate these employees on shared routes as a planned non driver. (There is a limit to the number of non drivers you can accommodate on shared deliveries. It is, therefore, recommended that this is not an option to employees that can drive but choose not to.) You should explore what other opportunities there are to accommodate the individual within your office. If individuals cannot be accommodated in your office, you may be able to accommodate them via a move to another unit within a reasonable distance, where suitable work is available. Where this is not possible an employee may effectively become surplus and in this instance you should take advice from your Regional ER/IR Manager.

If that were to happen and members were being threatened with permanent transfer against their will i would be questioning why MTSF is not being properly applied and register disagreement.

Fishtank, it's criminal that you're not a mod around here.
