40 hours down to 39

Post by celerycelery »

Is it part of the agreement that when we lose the hour from our weekly hours that is HAS to be 20 mins later start on monday, 20 mins later start on tuesday and 20 mins later start on saturday? Or can WE as a union decide how best we want to accomodate the 1 hour less from the week? Its just that today i was told it was nationally agreed that we use the method i posted at top for our 1 hour less a week.

No national agreement on how to implement the SWW.
Purely local and should be part of the walk sequenced revision process.

The way they lost the hour at our delivery office was to make the start times 06.12 instead of 06.00 six days a week,neither here or there really.

In our office we get an extra saturday off every six weeks instead of having the time shaved off during the week! :nana

About the only bloody good thing that came out of the last deal! :d'oh!

Very similar at my office.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Not sure quite how it was worked out but the extra time we do during the weeks apparently adds up to a Saturday off? I'm not going to question them over it just incase they change thier minds! :Very Happy
