Jesus is this up to 4 pages now if its your day off xmas day then its tough luck its happened to all us us at one time or another...get over it its just hard shite

You get a day back or the money if you are off Christmas day though

If you have a good manager you do! try getting a day off though!

[rambo1]

Maybe people who are sheduled xmas day off shouldn't get their hrs back either........would that be fair? Of course not. I'll say it again, I really don't know how the Cwu aren't all over this. It's not insignificant, as I said 20000 posties are effectively losing a day compared to the rest however many blinkered people say ,' no, you're not losing anything you're having your scheduled day off' . That statement infuriates me, are they really that stupid or do they just think I am?
If someone comes in on their day off, they are £90 better off. Just like royal mail though , they'll pay someone to come in on their day off when they could be fully staffed Monday to Thursday AND be fair to all, giving them a 4 day break. No wonder the company is in shite.

Thinking about the way royal mail are I'm surprised they haven't said that because the Saturday is non service day everyone on a rolling day off will be given Saturday as their day off. I noticed all the reserves in my office have been given the Saturday as their day off, wonder if that's a nationwide thing?

Of course it will be. They're paying them to be there all week instead of paying them to have a day off. Saving £90 per full timer.

Tough luck ha, so some staff work 5days and other 4 days. cause that's wots it means. Suppose your day off not on Sat.

[wazer]

can anybody show me where this is to in writing from RM.
would like to see officaily wot it says.

[einastronaut]

If everyone else on the staff is effectively getting two paid bank holidays that week, then all must. I'll be taking Christmas Eve off if they don't offer another day in lieu beforehand.

If they want to shaft a sixth of the workforce out of a day's pay, after a year like this, all for some petty penny pinching, then f**k 'em.

If you mean the declaration that 26th Dec is a non-USO day, it's in CWU LTB 513/20. https://www.cwu.org/ltb/ltb-513-20-peak ... s-2020-21/

If you mean anything about the statement from the OP that:

I have just been told that all reserves will be forced to take Saturday 26th December as their day off and it's a NAtional directive from RM? Any truth in the rumor?

- I've not seen anything - I think it'll depend whether your manager is a Scrooge or not.

f***ing hell. Some of you need to get a grip. You win some, You lose some. No one is losing money or getting paid any more.It's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

They're working a day extra, that you're not. You're getting paid to sit at home Saturday; they're not. Working a day more than everyone else for the same pay is losing. If you don't get it, keep your neb out and stop shitting on your colleagues. Reservists don't ever seem to "win some" with Royal Mail, they only ever get the short end of the stick and their frustration is not yours to belittle.

Iv been a reservist, Iv been a floater, Iv been a duty holder. It all comes around. Too many people in this job worried about what other people have or have not.
