Future attendance structure

Post by Fishyfingers »

Had a look at othe topics of the same vain but none answered the question i'm looking for.
So we had a WTL session dim says this is a national agreement issue and had to vote on two options,first is 1 in 6 saturdays off for everyone and a 4.00 span FT employment maintained, the other option is 1 in 4 Saturdays off and 4.00 span for FT duties on a rotation only, FT employment reduces by 3 jobs. Sounds like a shafting either way and we were told the union agreed to this and it's being rolled out in every office. Some advice please we have to vote and hand back in a week.

cheers.

No. That isn't a national agreement.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

What a load of rubbish. I have got 1 in 4 for those who wanted it and the rest staying on 1 in 6. If you dont take the chance of the 1 in 4 at your next revision i can assure you RM wont ever offer you it again. We had done about 5 options for members to vote on with a different mix of ft/pt, 1 in 4's, 1 in 6's, 4 day weeks for PT's and 3 day PT cover. There are load of options you can explore and come up with.

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.
