Speak to your rep.
Find out the outcome of the Stage 3 disagreement.

If it has been agreed without consultation of the members you have been stitched up by the union possibly under pressure from above.
It may not have been agreed,the wording is vague.
If it hasn't been agreed and there is no satisfactory conclusion to the stage 3 disagreement then the start times are being imposed by executive action and your office needs to decide it's next move.
Accept it or consider IA of some sort.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

There's a surprise :roll:

I will no doubt know more when i go in tomorrow but i can be 99.9% sure that the office was unaware of this happening.

You are probably correct in your assumption fishtank regards the union Rep being put under pressure as they work in the same office side by side virtually :no no

Just to add, i think Saturdays will be the main issue with this if it comes in, i don't suppose that can be looked at separately can it?

The Dim has all Saturdays off which i think is an absolute joke, should be a rotating day off like the staff each week.

The change to start times usually follows a revision and the arrival of sequenced mail either from in house or whoever. Whoever said the worst is yet to come isn't wrong, some of our staff only start at 0830 and some part timers 0900. Many areas who haven't had a revision are still starting at the crack of dawn and going out on delivery before some of our staff start their shift and in some instances have probably finished their delivery too :shock:

Isn't there a big issue of contention here, a letter has been issued today for a change in start times in 13 days, not 28 written days? :hmmmm
