ICTChris Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Bumping this - quite a few schools in Scotland will have been closed yesterday and today. Primary teachers were on strike yesterday, secondary today. Any P&Bers on strike? Any P&Bers have to take time off to look after their strike afflicted children? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Have a gander at the contracts the Royal Mail are dishing out and trying to get the workforce to sign. Now ask yourself after reading sections 9.1 to 9.3. Would you sign that? https://www.cwu.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/LTB-017-enclosure-New-Contracts-of-employment.pdf And just for clarity you will make no where near 28k a year. Take about 10k off that. Edited January 19 by Lofarl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take about 10k off that. Quote Core hours of work are 6am to 10pm Monday to Sunday. It is anticipated for full time hours you will work 5 days in every 7, pro-rata for part-time. Your scheduled duty attendance times will be allocated to you by your line manager. However, these hours may change from time to time after giving you reasonable notice. Actual hours will be confirmed up to 24 hours before shift. "up to 24 hours before shift" Tell me I'm reading this wrong or being really stupid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take about 10k off that. I wouldn’t sign it as it is but if they specified a weekly maximum hours I don’t think an annual flexi system would be too bad in principle. But obviously they haven’t and you’d have rocks in your head to sign that. Out of interest, why would you not make the 28k ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i first thought but clause 5 clearly states that's for the "hours of work specified below" and the hours of work are specified as 25 per week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't be able to plan anything to do on your time off. I get that, but that’s also about how it works not about the principle. It should be relatively easy to specify notice periods and minimum hours as well as maximum hours. I don’t know whether the Union is objecting to the flexible working in principle or in the form it’s been proposed. If it’s the latter then it’s easy to see why they would object. They don’t seem like a particularly bolshie union and I’d guess they probably do appreciate that they’ll need to give some ground, so agreeing to some form of flexibility is probably inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already thought this was the case in November, you must be cross at what's on the table now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what's on the table now, tbh, however it makes no difference to what I said in November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
