I am constantly lied to

Post by Stryjo »

Due to planned changes, my duty is to be taken away.
I've been working as a reserve (again) since January this year.
now it turned out that the changes will be stopped, does it mean that I should go back to my duties?
today I had to work somewhere else and someone from another office did my duty.
For me, this situation is very unfair.
I don't have anyone from the union because the representative was suspended.
please help.

Kick up a fuss. Management would rather not have the headache.

Find out who your area IR rep is and get his / her email address. Explain the situation as it does seem unfair that you should move to another office if there is a vacant duty at your office.

The whole "stop the revision" thing is very much up in the air right now. Around my area they are just steaming ahead as usual.

Good luck.

When you say you had to work somewhere else, do you mean another office?
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Have you asked the DOM or COM what's now happening with your old round?

I've lost my round too in our office after being on it for over 10 years, it's now lapsed. I'm off this week but when I go back on Monday I'm on a van share. My question is am I entitled to insist that I get training as I'm pretty sure it will not be offered to me.

Well at my place there's no training whatsoever for shared rounds. Apparently we can just be pointed in the right direction by our partner. Oh yeah, and just 'follow the mail'.

And it's the same at my husband's place. (We no longer work in the same office - long story...).
