similar problems in our office, the manager is not sticking to the 2007 agreement to open up extra leave during the summer, and wants to close some down at easter as well. trying to resolve this but will go to disagreement if needed

Welcome to the Forum mczappa :wave

Our weeks only get blanked off when they are fully booked ? Have you already made a selection and these weeks are now gone or is this your first selection ?

Last year we battled for the extra 2 space availabilty under the agreement and got no where to be honest. :roll:

Oh by the way CAP LOCK is the same as shouting on here :Very Happy

Of course he can't,so is he saying outside those months it's a free for all because you've suddenly got s**t loads of staff. :crazy:
Have a word with your area rep.Oh and what has your rep said?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

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