Sorry, looking into it.

Ok thanks

[Baker4life]

Even when was first announced it still won't be 45 days

[Baker1]

No it says the start was Monday and Tuesday of week 1 is the start of Collective consultation of 45 days

[Baker4life]

But told end of consultation is 1st May, so what does that mean as not 45 days

[dairyfresh]

may 1st is nearly 60 days from 2nd march

[Baker1]

It says closure of collective consultation wednesday of Week 7, week of April 13th, then week 9 April 27th, final individual consultation meetings and issue official notice of redundancy, then leave date on the saturday.

What a joke. Thought consultation begins when we have our 121 meetings. So from first meetings we have 3 weeks to decide to take alternative roles or redundancy if offered. Makes me laugh so since we were first told what actual information has been given to us!  Anyone been given redundancy figures? Availability sheets due in tomorrow.

Damm straight it's a joke. Luckily I've not hung around  but still....

Yes it is a complete joke, no info at all, just keep getting told to wait until the heat map drops and then the next meeting we will find out if at risk of redundancy. Its a shambles as usual.

Just been reading the Stores Collective Consultation minutes. Does anyone understand the section on Pooling Principles? From the way it’s written, anyone with 50% or more of their hours worked in the bakery will be included in the pool regardless of their contracted dept. Only those with 50% or less will be considered for redundancy if their hours are reduced by 20% or less.

Makes no sense that full time bakery staff are shipped off to other depts not knowing where they’ll go. This is a bake off store, not scratch.

Thanks.

Where do you find a copy of that ?

Usdaw reps emailed today. Can everyone shed any light as to email?

[londoner83]

Any news on whether this restructure will be delayed by the Coronavirus. At a time when shops are crazily busy is it right managers and reps are off the floor in  meetings?

Usdaw reps emailed today. Can everyone shed any light as to email?

i was told by the manger   we wont hear anything till the 5 of April but you can apply for jobs and go for job interviews  but dont accept any job  as you could be job matched  what a crazy company we work for it is unbelievable

[Baker1]

Bakery manager told me they have a pack with how many hours they are losing, start times and 3 different scenarios for stores based on takings. Had it confirmed by another bakery manager as well.

That's good of him...anyone can apply for jobs whenever they like! As for attending interviews, are they going to allow paid time off to attend...no...because you are not under consultation for redundancy so they are not obliged to grant you paid time off.
On one hand, maybe the manager is advising you have a back up plan. On the other hand, maybe hoping you'll find another job and leave, forgoing your redundancy and leaving more hours for others to be job matched  It's the cynic in me 

[Tattooyou]

We are already in consultation and have been given our redundancy figures we are going full bake off
