Any news if this site is being taken over/kept going or anything? It would be a shame to lose all the good info on here

@lucgeo, thank you, appreciated, good wishes to yourself & everyone on here going forward

Indeed, at the end of the day it's the employee only to decide to proceed, and the rep can only support that decision.

I wish you well in this, you're giving this colleague a lot of effort, support and your personal time in this, and again I would encourage you to consider becoming a union rep, as I can guarantee others hearing of your commitment will start coming asking for advice or to accompany them.

A union rep has more information and support at their disposal, and as this site is to end within days a lot of knowledge you could gain from others will be lost.

Good luck 

Employee has contacted ACAS, side of story given. Will have to wait on ACAS response now (if they make any), I know one suggestion was to draw a line under this and i get that, but as its what the employee has decided to do and as its their right to do so I will help where I can

Any feedback from the london meeting of .com managers that is happening today and tommorow?,our department actually runs better when she is not there,so we are loving the peace and quiet

@grim up north the idling side of it isnt relevant anymore as disciplinary appeal it was specifically set aside. For the record it was cold, no idea how cold as i wasnt there, i guess the moral of the story is even if your training or handbook or even definitions of unattended are ever on your side then dont depend on the company to see it that way, if theyre bent on giving out a disciplinary they will anyway regardless

Is there a moral of this story? How cold was the van to cause all this upset?

Quote from: dfl on 20-05-24, 01:54PM@madness does this mean the backshift (4hr runs) will be no longer

for us yeah.
vans go out for 12 hour shifts that it.
or half day 6s.

@old man i was there, would never not be because i do care, only issue now is whether employee decides to approach acas, if employee does then im willing to help, but where to start withh doing that im unsure of the process or how best to present the employees case, cross that bridge if it comes to it

can't see this working in rural areas,but I dare say the idiots in charge will try to roll it out nationally no doubt
