Forced annual leave is one thing but forced long service leave (and the reduced pay rates that come with it) is not something that I am happy about.

I've been more than happy to tow the line by not working any OT for the last 4 months but if I'm forced on to 30% less pay for any sustained period we are simply not going to have enough money to pay the bills.

I've always used up my annual leave to relieve the fatigue of shift work and spend time with my young family hence I don't have much saved up at all. Any leave forced on me would have to be long service.

Nobody should be forced to take long service until EVERYONE'S annual and DILs have been used up!
