This is an important issue if it means you require your union to have a veto over how the company runs its operation.
Both Midman. As I am not a member of BASSA I do not require them to have a veto and I have NEVER said so. Nor do I condone the strike. I, like PC767, will take the good and bad of the job; accept that delays, unscheduled nightstops, etc are part of it and still be the best CSD that money can buy.
I do feel however that we deserve a work-life balance and that to have a disruption agreement with no protection from abuse would be to the detriment of my family. The kind of 'no holds barred' change to rosters you are clearly championing would be arguably discriminatory as it would impact working parents greatly and make childcare unworkable. I would be unable to continue a job I have given 100% to for 22 years which can not be right.
Fairness is all we ask!
