i just joined the union!

2 shifts a month?, that sucks. what depot are you at ? I know its the regular quiet period in the summer but thats ridiculous. Do you wait for them to ring you or do you ring them up and hassle them for shifts ?

I was only offered 4 shifts in June, one of those was cancelled and the others were very quiet. Sod's law I'm booked for tomorrow night and I've done my wrist so will have to cancel.
