5 day week deliveries!!

[Martin Walsh]

Saturdays off would be welcomed by our colleagues of certain religious faiths.

The question begs,*if* i was a colleague of certain faith,would i be entitled to have every Saturday off work?,because its against said religion to work on a Saturday??

How do deliveries work in Golders Green?

They used to have a 4 day week now they have a 9 day fortnight ! By the way the us senate have rejected recently a monday to Friday service !

Ahhh, must be no privatisation for the US Mail on the horizon then, wouldn't be good for the ol' USofA to be seen to stifle a fledgling private enterprise at it's birth.
Unlike here in the UK.
Anyway, Dingo old fruit, what's YOUR plans for Saturday? Not anything remotely like ours, I bet.

Allegedly, at our main office, a new starter ( presumably of the Jewish orthodox faith ) will be joining, and he has said that he CANNOT work on Saturdays, and ( the story goes ) local management have tried to avoid hiring, but senior management has forced it through...now I know every office, has Mon-Fri duties but they tend to need years of seniority to earn them, and for any reserve not getting 1 in 6 every Saturdays off, have they any right to a grievence? Isn't there a reasonable case to refuse employment on the basis that his Sabbath is a normal working day ( would you employ Maggie Thatcher as an ACAS arbitrator? Or Dennis Skinner as chairman of the CBI? ).

I'm not looking to cause conflict with him, I'd quite cheerfully buy him a bagel from the bagel shop over the road from the office...the sausage or the bacon bagels are the dogs bo**ocks!

I'm not in favour of circumcision but you have to admit the lapsing looks fun

Is it lapsing, or are they star bursting?

[clashcityrocker]

I call it lapsing
You call it starbursting
Let's call the whole thing off.

Is that really such a problem?!!
I'm also Jewish (non-Orthodox), so I'm more relaxed about Sabbath observance, but I still go to a Liberal Synagogue in London when I can......I would love to have every Saturday off, for that reason!
Based on the fact that the majority of the workforce are nominal Christian, if not practising, they can be able to attend church on a Sunday if necessary - why should Muslims and Jews be disadvantaged from observing their Sabbaths?!
Muslims would quite appreciate Fridays off and Jewish workers, Saturday. Why not?

Don't be crazy postman, why would you want to do more work than you do now?

The church of Jedi has it's holy day on a Monday so I think I'll be wanting a Monday off so that I can watch Star Wars and pray
