I think I've answered this before but...
Unlike some of the other changes compulsory Sundays could not be implemented using executive action, the law on sunday working is clear, it must be by agreement either individually or collectively.

Understood. Next question, what/who does it mean by collectively?
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Well they can use their agency staff for doing that then problem solved.

If the union were to negotiate compulsory Sundays and we agreed it.

I used to work every Sunday when I was young and single. Loved it. Now I got grandkids there's no way I want to do it. The other day I couldn't make a family Saturday outing. Later my granddaughter said why do you always work ? Broke my heart. I'd leave rather than miss them growing up.

I’m not sure if I follow the implied logic where that if you signed for a driving duty or shared van driver over a decade ago you were putting yourself forward for working Sundays in the distant future.

Good life lesson for her though that adults have to do things they dont want to do to keep a rough over thier heads.

Those who chose to drive for Royal Mail rather than be employed on a contract with driving can come off the driving at any time though. Unlike those employed on a driving contract, they aren’t obligated to drive. There have been people in my office who have became non drivers who once were drivers.

Most of those drivers when push comes to shove prefer staying on their duty though
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

A good lesson for you would be to stop trolling. I’m still convinced you are a manager. Either way you should be ashamed of yourself. This company was founded on solidarity

Better lesson.
The only thing worth anything in life is time.
The rest of it is just s**t we made up to kill said time.
Stop trying to play the Dailly Mail reading company man, it's very 1980s.

Bet his granddaughter can spell roof though and, probably, their.

Along with other words such as troll and heartless, I shouldn't wonder.
Sooner or later, a beat dog bites.
