Ralph Wiggum wrote:A resign of duties would only apply if a certain percentage of duties within the office have changed. Now im not 100% sure but 1/3rd springs to mind, im sure someone will confirm this.

If it is below this then im afraid you lose your duty and indeed will be a reserve until other duties come up for pick.
Its not been changed its gone, every time my office have lost a duty its been a resign but i work in a small office

I had a word with the Rep today and he basically reiterated that he's lodged a disagreement and that he's spoken to the area Rep and that nothings happened for the foreseeable.

I guess its a case of wait and see and take it from there.

If your 'rep' has put in a disagreement the status quo remains as is, so they cannot act or make changes until the disagreement is heard. Once the disagreement is placed they have to follow the IR framework. 7 days to sit down with manager etc.. Contact your area rep ASAP if I was you to check the disagreement has been placed.

Regarding the grievance I'm sure you have to contact HR now to register a grievance, again though contact your area rep he will know more.

I would contact your area rep though for support as your 'rep' sounds poor.

Thanks fatty, do you know how I get my area reps details? I'd rather bypass my office rep as you've pretty much nailed it.

To have a resign is not as easy as some think, my office keeps calling out for one but nothing has triggered one.
it is hard to explain sometimes, but i heard a rumour RM want annual revisions with a resign????
Just remember under the present agreements if you don't want to you don't have to put your duty in if no change has occurred to it.
That's a particularly worrying thought. :sad: If it's correct in theory it could trigger a re-sign just by saying everyone in the Office has got to start 15 minutes later? :hmmmm

It's been mentioned a few times on RMC but re-signs are so often a Poisioned Chalice. Very rare that everyone's happy with the outcome. I suppose with PDA actuals you could review duties on a Yearly basis. It would be a useful tool IF we could trust the management! ;liar Perhaps when your duty's had a hundred new building built on it they'd make adjustments. :pray I somehow feel that it would be one way traffic, and only used to help RM give you more work. :cuppa
