Not if you don't agree to it.
Unless they have a national agreement that states that is the way it is to be done, it would be down to local agreement.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Cant see a problem with having 2 part timers in p and l. Just guessing that both rounds would be pre-prepped by full timers though before you come in.

Seniority is a thing of the past. I got screwed for full time because I couldn't drive apparently we haven't got the skills to do the job. Even though I'm expected to extend every day because of these half arsed revisions. f**k that I start on my time and finish at 3. Royal mail is ruined. Privatisation is just round the corner.
