If you are made fully aware of the rules that are in place in your D.O. what difference does it make what other areas are doing?

If he was told officially not to use it then what does he expect?

RM are busting thier balls looking for ways to drive people out of the workforce right now and everybody needs to be squeaky clean when it comes to all thier rules, whether people like em or not. At least if they want to hang on to thier jobs?

Doing something like this is just plain stupid and he has noone else to blame but himself! :speak to the hand
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Cars continue at our office and both the rep and dom turn a blind eye :arrrghhh

It just makes it really hard when your using a trolley and bike, getting bags dropped off and taking your break but look really slow compared with car users who are finishing over an hour before you. :roll:

We need an even playing field for our own good before its too late which means stop using cars and use the tools supplied for the job.

There were more private cars than RM vans in our yard the other week when i came in late.

Seems new starters are encouraged to use their cars now i regularly see them loading ALL their bags into cars.

Our union rep uses his car too (when he does his round) so can't see things changing.

Do you realise how stupid that statement sounds? In order to finish on your time, the answer is NOT to use your own car but to cut off. The probable reason why the duties are wrong is because people were using their own cars and finishing early giving the impression that the duties were undersubscribed.
suppose your one of these who comes in early ,takes short cuts etc and asks the dom 1 lump or two
And if he wants chocolate digestives or just plain hobnobs..............it wouldn't do to look as though I'm not receptive to change after all....digestive/hobnob, digestive/hobnob.............there's only one way to find out
