Oh dear...you have a problem. And you signed this piece of paper about
hours.
That was silly want it?
Join the tube if ou feel its such a good lurk....always looking for good
people to be CSAs. Or would that be a little too much work for you?

Well, I find it insulting as I don't get time off because of the
extra hours I work, and I would imagine the millions of people
working for the many companies in many industries that don't leech of
public money, and don't have a corrupt union propping them up might
feel similarly about the situation.


Do you regularly work a 37.5 hour week but only get paid for 35?



I regularly work weeks of 40+ hours, and in my contract I specifically had
to sign an opt-out of the European Law on the maximum 48 hour week, and I
get paid a fixed salary based on a notional 37.5 hour week, with no
overtime or time off over and above that.

And compared to some people I know I have it pretty easy.

But very few companies functioning within the constraints of real world
economics could afford their staff the joyride that LU staff seem to
benefit from.
