Now you or I may not wish to work 2-8, but that's not the same as it being an unreasonable request in extraordinary circumstances (which these are).
:Applause We need to understand how serious this situation is going to get. I dont want to work until 8pm but if it means me, my colleagues, my family and customers are made safer then I will willingly do it.

Non drivers working from home delivering on foot for upto 6 hours pmsl... Seriously pushing members out on the street when even more at risk is jaw dropping considering
Why are you more at risk out on delivery? I can't wait to get out in the morning, out of an office all on top of each other. I dare say in most delivery offices it is impossible to respect the 2 meter rule at all times when fully staffed. Why have they deemed it not ok to share a van for 20 or 30 mins but they have you prepping almost shoulder to shoulder with the same person for an hour and a half?

Asking you to work 2-8 is a reasonable request and is in line with most people's contracts. Those with legitimate issues with this such as child care should be accommodated for and stay on their "regular" shifts.
