I bloke here has got a bar on calls from NUMBER WITHELD phones. Pisses off management no end! Put in a grievance and kick up a real stink by taking it as far as possible so they know not to do it again :wink:

but your contract states we need to be contactable.....doesn't bother me if they want to contact me when i'm off....i'm fully aware of the 1,3 and 5 day contact....also know there's people among us who have sickies and go on holiday...they're the ones who normally moan about procedures
