If people can remember the old 318?

Specifically, is states "As Directed".

Even if you have signed for a duty, it does not belong to you.
Managers can place you on any duty they like if it fits within that current skills set. You have zero rights of complaint under resourcing and following a manager's reasonable instruction.

Within any given office (more so for MCs), provided there's no H&S issues and your trained for it, you could be placed in any section at any time. In a MC if someone's trained on all the machines and the SD locker, they could potentially be in every last work area over the course of a shift

Unless you are the only person who is continuously expected to show this level of flexibility - in which case a grievance would be in order.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Agreed, as that cannot be reasonable over a protracted period of time
