I haven't worked a Saturday in 15 years

[DGP1]

Everyone in our office is Monday to Friday, but they made the mistakes of signing up to the Saturday bond. I wasn't so foolish... But now it's bein forced upon me....

So who delivers the mail on a Saturday?

Those who've agreed to come in and do it, the same agreement was in place in Belfast until recently.

Optional Saturdays, wow that would be nice.

Optional Saturday's r bein taken away from us cos the fight is gone.... I remember not so long ago guys wudnt do overtime unless they were being paid amazing rates ie. 30mins walkin wuda got ya 4hrs pay... Now people r doin overtime for basic rate.... It's the only company on the planet getting away with it... Remember Sunday rates too. Come in n work bout two hours and get paid 4 hrs at double time... Wot has happened to solidarity

I have never had a Saturday off for over 30 years. Even when I was on Monday to Friday ... Saturday was my overtime day .... for year after year I worked 7 days ( I remember when we used to work 41or 43 hours duty and I used to do 40 hours overtime on top of that ... good old days...but under this present system I still work 6 days ... every week
