CHRISTMAS WORKING NIGHTS, WHAT IS IT IN YOUR MAIL CENTRE?

[Cheapy]

HAVE SEEN THE OTHER POSTS RELATING TO THIS BUT REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW I STAND REGARDING BOXING DAY WORKING. IS THERE A NATIONAL AGREEMENT IN PLACE THAT NOW SAYS WE HAVE TO WORK. I WORK IN CANTERBURY MAIL CENTRE AND STILL DO NOT KNOW WETHER OR NOT I WILL BE WORKING BOXING DAY NIGHT, IS THIS ACCEPTABLE FROM A SO CALLED FAMILY FRIENDLY COMPANY. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU CAN EITHER MAKE UP HOURS ON SUNDAY (I AM UNABLE TO DO THIS) OR GO INTO A HAT TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THE NIGHT OFF OR ELSE IT'S IN BOXING NIGHT.

WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TOLD WE HAD THE TIME OFF AND I HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON THIS INFO.

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER MAIL CENTRE MON-FRI NIGHT STAFF ARE REQUIRED TO WORK.

hi
i work in the dorset mail centre,we have been told that if you are a 5 night worker ,you must come in boxing day at
midnight.You may come in 2 hours before on overtime if you want to but there will be no lieu day given!!

no hours have to be made up,sunday night before xmas is optional for people doing their normal overtime or scheduled attendance.Claw back does not exist anymore so you should not be made to do extra hours

Please see your union rep if this happens
