Change in Start Times - Office Livid or Will be!

[fishtank]

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?

They have gone through all three stages of disagreement over this which means notice of the potential change in start times must have been given at least 28 days ago if not longer.

So he should be giving us 28 days notice then? he's just an absolute tit to be far probably like 99% of them though.

What is strange is that if there was an agreed resolution then there should be a written document in place. Your office should demand to see this and should certainly deman that your area rep and divisional rep come down to explain what has been agreed.

What you have posted appears to be a management circular. Was start times the only issue at disagreement or were their other issues and if so again you should demand a meeting to understand what has been agreed and demand a vote. Good Luck

I'm sure this will be raised - watch this space!

Union is spineless in my opinion, the Rep in our office is far too 'pally' with the Dim.

I reckon sparks will fly over the next day or too.

Well got a little update today.

Dim had us in the middle of the floor to be told it's now coming in THIS Monday

What a joke, apparently his boss has told him this and that's that

Union didn't utter a word

so good to see the union keeping cosy with RM

Never mind the union.
What did your office say?
Without being personal if they stood there staring at their feet it's hardly surprising that you are where you are.
Question your rep.
if you don't get a straight answer question your area rep.
Find out if these changes have been agreed and why you have been kept in the dark.

You've already told us the union went to disagreement over it.
If there wasn't a satisfactory resolution at stage 3 you have the option of balloting for Industrial Action.
Are 90% of your office prepared to walk over the issue?

Office seem resigned to it by the looks of things, no fight in it pretty sad state of affairs really

Job will be 9-5 next!

9-2 for me .

Weirdly, not all part time duties start at the same time, but some start as late as 9:00.

Just remember to use this to our advantage..........5 o'clock is the latest time you finish and no matter how much work they give you you'll finish at that time (although I can see us prepping mail in the afternoon and then delivering it the next morning, along with specials and first class).

its a shame, because when i walk to work, especially now in the spring with early light, no traffic, no people around, birds singing.. i just think.. I'd much rather be out delivering now than in 2 1/2 hours time when its noisy, packed and hotter

Something that wasn't taken into consideration I'm sure. We used to be out delivering at 0645, no kids, traffic, garrulous customers - you could back your work and nip across roads lick spit - my first delivery was quite a walk but with a push on I could be in Mcdonalds back in town at 0830 for a burger and orange juice, then back to the office for 0915 for my break then back on sorting and out with the second delivery and home by 12.15. We most certainly have modernised

Every PT duty in our office starts at 8.45, FT start 6.45-7.15. It's actually pretty good when you get used to finishing a bit later, you can go to bed at 11pm and still get 7hrs sleep
