Appreciate the balanced view, obviously fortunate enough to have a better Company Council than the circus I had. Unfortunately, there were one or two hard workers with massive integrity but this was blocked by the overweight buffoon who was in charge at the time!
Back to the thread. A colleague recently was 'SKF' but I noticed at the beginning of the month he'd had 7 consecutive days off. With the monthly hours consistently standing at around 90, the system needs to make up the work somehow and will compact duties into tight blocks if people are requesting large chunks of days off. The question is, therefore, are we in danger of having these 'unlimited' days off restricted again in light of this accident if fatigue is indeed cited as a factor? While the hourly schedules are as high as they are, it's almost impossible NOT to have fatigue inducing rosters if some of us want to get blocks of days off to commute.
Just a thought.
