postal strike
Drift:
Sorry to hear you have got caught up in the backlash of this strike Steve, last thing any business need.
I think members feel let down by the whole RM saga and its affecting them to, so its bound to be a slightly :? one sided debate.
Its good to see other opinions and views, it makes things alot more interesting.

--- Quote from: "Ricky" --- currently if he completes his job after 4 hours he goes and gets paid for 8, but if management asks him to stay the full 8 hour shift to help others out. he can claim the additional 4 as overtime even though he's already being paid to be there! common for a dept/section to slow down to create overtime for others which is recipricated at a later date.
No wonder the buisiness is in such a mess!

This is just one of many examples of historical practices that should never have been allowed in the first place. The problem is that people get so used to it that they find it hard to accept being asked to work the hours they are being paid for.

This is not a historical practice. It was introduced less than 5 years ago by the very same management team that now want to stop it.

Fair enough. I have read incorrect information if that's the case. But I stand by what I said in that it should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.
I'm certainly not laying the blame with any one party. That, frankly, is never the case in disputes. The management have plenty to answer for. No doubt about that. I'm just not sure stike action is the answer. In my view (and that's all it is) it just alienates the majority of the public and they could really do with the public on their side.
I don't think anyone is having a go at you. Your point is well put, perfectly valid and appreciated in the discussion.
