How will it be done in MCs? 15 mins of each day at the start of shifts Tue-Fri or a whole hour of the start of a shift?

It will be driven by the AHDC outputs I would imagine. In theory if those show that your day is full of productive work then they'll need to invest more hours in the operation. In practice I think they'll just accuse you of being crap at the job and take it off the beginning of the shift.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

It'll probabaly work better in DOs, where all (all at least most of) your work is available when you start. On either late shift or night shift in MCs you have the external factors of what time vans or artics come in at and whether they are on time on a given day

That's not the reality in any DO I've worked in.
At best around 1/3 of our work is available at our start time, the rest is subject to the same variables as you mention.

Just wait until more work arrives later in DOs and you have to deliver the LAT stuff :roll:

What the hell has that got to do with your previous comment?

We all have a start and finish time, if i'm leaving the office later and that means i won't be able to complete on time i either cut off or arrange overtime, it's a very simple :nana

They'll probably have to move your start and finish times later

Perhaps, wouldn't really bother me to be honest. But let's consider for once that by whatever means they make the MC more efficient? I know you're going to come back and say it's not possible but you can bet your last penny they will be coming for hours from processing as they are from delivery

I'm pretty sure it actually said in the agreement that rather than introduce later working, the shorter week would be taken off the beginning of the shift.

It goes to the wire as it is in MCs so with any less time, there's a very good chance that the work will end up going out to DOs later
