They want them to start working at start from the afternoon to late evening too.
If I understand it right, that's a shift system. What a highly offensive and out of touch regime to try and impose.

I have a fealing that it's the fear of change that's driving this, not any sound practical objections, just that RM staff want to carry on doing what they do in the way they do it now.


......Oh, probably involvement by some self-righteout over militant union branch secretary(s) probably doesn't help......like i've said in another post, you really do have to thing of Carry on at your Convenience(shop steward looking for any reason he can to take the workers out on strike).
