In 2008/2009 VR was offered and not everybody who asked for it was given it, the same with part time many people have been waiting patiently to be offered it, assuming that the economic downturn would give them the opportunity to reduce their hours.In most companies this alone would be perceived as a collaborative workforce willing to help their employer in difficult times.Yet, these facts are completely overlooked and the blame is strictly apportioned to Bassa.Why?
I think that it's you who needs to get your facts right. It's my firm understanding that everyone who asked for VR did get it - all 1,003 of them.
As for part-time: Bill Francis has committed to granting by March 2011 a part-time contract to all 5,594 who requested it, including a new 33 per cent arrangement.
