advice needed

Post by scorpion69 »

I am on 32 hour contract fixed Wednesday off and the round that i am on day off. We have 4 rounds that we rotate. Just been told under the new revision i will have a fixed Tuesday and Wednesday off so that the other 4 posties can have their one in four long weekends of, it used to be one in five. I have worked in the same office for 10 years, i am not a reserve, seems the others have already agreed to it. Seems unfair at best discrimination at worse. Any thoughts advise

I believe he's complaining because he will lose the rotating day off and be given Tuesdays off instead plus his usual Wednesday off. At least that's the way I read it? :hmmmm

Tuesday being the worst day to miss and Wednesday being the best day to have off kind of balances out but I am guessing that means no Saturdays off? I think you are entitled to 1 in 6 Saturdays off or something. If this is what you are upset about perhaps one of the union bods on here could advise you better or maybe your own office rep? :hmmmm
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

He's only on a 32 hour contract though. Seems totally out of order if he isn't getting a saturday off.

The attendance pattern for the office should be decided by the office.
In theory an office can vote to have permanent Saturday attendances to allow 1 in 4 for the majority, but it should be followed by a resign.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Thank you for the info. Does that mean if i take on the permanent rota position with fixed days off of Tuesday and Wednesday, i can ask the others to sign for the other duties. In effect they are asking me to sign for a rota duty but they will revolve around me to get their one in four week ends off
