Hi all
My situation is better than most here. I'm decently paid and a union member, and I vote for a party that supports unions.
This morning, my GM said all managers (including would be required to have their phones on on weekends – if they didn't pick up immediately, they should at least be answering text messages reasonably promptly.
Now… I've worked here for nearly four years and never been called on the weekend. My GM has maybe called me twice or three times after 5pm,and apologised whenever it's happened. So I don't expect we would get called very often at all.
But still. To be on call every weekend – that's actually a big change. And, of course, no change in pay/allowances was discussed.
Any thoughts?
