shift change

Post by stgilesst »

I am working on a twilght shift at a mail centre and have been on this shift for over 2 yrs, being asked by the management to revert from a night shift as it would fit in with the contract I was on .I accepted this and have been happy to do it.I am now being told I will have to revert to nights again and this was hard luck.My union rep was unsure if they could do this saying that as it was over 2yrs perhaps I could appeal.
could anyone advise?

If they want to change your hours they have to put it in writing to you and then give you a One to One to explain why, then you get 28 days notice before the change happens

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.

Its noting to do with MTSF ! In terms of changing start finish times I have been told its consultation not negotiation ! 28 days is a usual fair time to give us notices in R.M. book.
