30W is right and thanks for your comment. I been in this company a couple of years and know some of the guys in OCC well and they are very nice and mostly very professional.
You are right in that they ave a job to do and with the shortage there are no resources to do it. They go to NB and say there is no crew and he says FIND SOME. They end up paying from both him and those of us who see fit to argue with them and if you ever meet one of duty youll see the relief on their face for being away from it all.
What's more, if you say NO, Im having a beer or leave your phone off then it makes their life easier I think.
Remember as well, it was staff in there that were the first many months ago to preict the current shortages and what do they ave to show for it?
It's NB mistakes (as always) but much of the responsibility now lies with JH and RH for letting it get this bad AND for continue to leave him in the position. On your heads be it EVPO and CEO - you know where the problems are and you were uch quicker to fix other less critica and frontline problems.
Overtime pay etc is not the answer to stable rosters. It might be short term fix but in the long run we all need better T&C's in order to recruit and retain staff.
