Time for a shorter working week

Post by Dano boy »

Currently in mail centres I hear the shift managers want everyone back on 5 night weeks until 8am at the latest and every late turner will do 5 days .

Sorry but this is absolutely horrendous for work life social balance . Also a nightmare getting weekends off on leave and on top of that you are not allowed to have a week or two off at Christmas . When does it end ? Personally the job won't be worth doing eventually. Pay getting less , overtime..well it's there at the moment and working conditions with managers on your shoulders . On top of unsociable hours .

It's time to take the business forward with rotation shifts whether people like it or not ! Something drastic needs to change ..most certainly in the mail centres!!

Here's the link that the cwu are discussing

Why are you not trying to get a transfer into your closest DO then?
It's day shift every single day :wave

Ah yes, is it maybe because MC work is piss easy compared to DO work?
