Flexibility

[kitkatchunky]

We've been made to work 30mins over on busy days because of people working to their time. Management tell us we have to take it as flexibility and come in 30mins later the next day.
Area rep about as good as an ashtray on a motorbike saying this is fine.

Now we are getting bullied more when working to our time with people being singled out and mail counted then in the office for a dressing down.

Managers only bully you and give you dressing downs if you let them, I just wish people would stop being so timid and stand up for themselves.

That is so true

managers will tell you whatever they like to get you to do extra work for free, do you know why they do this? so they dont have to do it! Wake up people

We had our first WTL for a few weeks today and our happy go lucky smug tosser of a DOM decides that even though the mail volumes has gone up we are going to keep lapsing. When told by the lads on 30 hour contracts they will not be taking any extra out he starts barking on about the flexibility agreement and tells them they "HAVE" to take out the extra work and cannot claim due to days he MAY of finished earlier weeks ago and he owes the business. This lad comes in on his time and due to our office only having one part time duty he constantly gets put on full time rural duty's and the boss told us our CWU rep is full of s**t and in not these exact words but what he says goes and ignore the union.

Another happy day in the world of royal balls up!!!!

I would ask him where it says he can BANK hours because thats what he is trying to do.

The Pay and Mod allows for 30 minutes flexibility (with certain provisions) each week and the pay back is that week - it certainly does not carry over.
