Indeed a good question. It doesn't;t quite fit in with the ethos of RMC, we even ask politely in the rules viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11169
Do not hijack threads for a flame war and do keep to the original topic, having a lot of off topic posts in the threads is no good to anyone.

Yes, back to work on 1st April, for England and Wales only. For Scotland, it's 26th April. For Northern Ireland, it's 12th April.

Please see this thread, those who are coming off shielding...

***Safe return process agreed for vulnerable Royal Mail Group workers***
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Is this agreed..
Only reason I’m asking is because
The date is July 2020
There’s a more recent LTB Dec 2020
I’ve asked if this stands and had no confirmation.
Although Both are really quite similar. I just like to Know I’m on the right page 8)

Yes I already put that one up, have merged it with my original link now.
Yes everything stands, what do you mean?

Everything in the LTB's should be done before you shielders return to work.

Was there anything official that stated night workers had to go in to work at midnight as opposed to their normal start time , following the end of shielding ?
