the five Guaranteed Days Off will be claimed back off each of the next block of 4 days off so you will be on 5 2 5 3 for a while.
No it won't. Read the document.
It will actually be 5/2/
6 /3 while the GDOs are reclaimed, HOWEVER there will be a maximum of 5 FDPs during the six day block (i.e at least one day will have to be a rest day or CTB).
At the moment we work 6/3 ALL YEAR to earn our current leave. Is it really a problem to work 6/3 (but only work five) for five weeks to earn it now?
Losing a block a leave is not good, and GDOs certainly do not count.
Why? If it's five days you don't go to work, what's the difference?
I don't appreciate being bullied into voting for something just because there is the threat of random rostering.
But I bet you'll be the first to complain if we DO go to random rostering!!
