Surely they would need doorstep scanning. You wouldn’t take the PDA home!

what if someone has done double duties and still got done early (no indoor work other than his own duty prep) and still gone home before scheduled finish time yet paid 4 or 5 hrs extra?
yet someone comes back at the same time and told "yeah, but he's done more and on overtime so you must go deliver this bit?
it does happen and we cannot refuse but these people who chase the almighty dollar will either prosper or suffer twice as bad if we strike, my guess is the 1st
i know a few are absolutely dreading the yes vote and my gut instinct some will probably work by hook or crook given half a chance
sorry if i turned this into a strike topic but it'll have some bearing when the time comes

Just work to time, say you'll go out in a van and deliver as many as youll have time for to get back to the office for finish time, if you've got 10 mins to go then take the parcels for a spin and and bring them back

Would you pay someone to sit at home on their backside doing nothing if it was your business. You need to stop thinking it's job and finish, those days are gone, now just work till your time and stop moaning about it. If you don't like it then go and work in your local factory and see how many days you can go home early.
Its posts like this that annoy me!!!! I'm not moaning about Job and finish pal!!!! I've been in this business long enough to know that's gone!!!! My point was 6 months ago when our lino tried this our union rep told us we point blank refuse to do them as they are a separate duty with separate hours!!! I have absolutely no problem what so ever working to my time IF the work is available and if it's not and we get back early and we are told to sit and do kill offs or take some laps out then that's fine by me so get off your high horse thinking I'm moaning because I want to go home early alright pal!!! :shhhhh :wave
