Reason for accepting late starts

Post by Throgg »

Having asked my rep why we were only getting 28 days notice to start later even though we all disagree, he got back to me today.

He states "if changes are made to your employment due to a change in legislation, then your employer only has to give you 28 days notice, whether you want the change or not".

Royal Mail have been very clever here by using the "7.5 tonnes vehicle speed change" to force through these changes.

When i asked why they were doing it now rather than when legislation takes effect next year, he replied, "Royal Mail claim they bring change in early so they can iron out any problems that occur, so that when the law comes into effect, they will already be working within it.

I guess RM lawyers are earning their money :mad

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.
