its in the union statement,and agreed with Parcelforce, that,,if you are contracted to work an 11 hour duty and you have hospital or dental appointments which cannot be attended outside your NORMAL working hours then your line manage must allow you SPECIAL LEAVE and not take a days holiday.Contact your union rep for clarification.
