Who is in charge of us. Its a joke paying people to come in week ends doing nothing. We need a re shuffle . Get rid of these gafthers. Who are clueless in what they are doing .that would save the company a lot of money.

I know there is stigma attached to 'shop floor' workers, and them being thick as sh1t, but you guys certainly do live up to the stereotype. You moan like girls fighting over pink bracelets!! About mixing shifts this and that, yet huddle together like cold swamp rats when waiting to leave?? You all are dumb people. Really really dumb.

Mauretania

Built at the Swan Hunter Yard in Wallsend, Mauretania is arguably the most famous ship ever built on the Tyne admired both for her luxury and her speed.

What did Manchester do?
Nothing, too busy spitting dummies out over football results.

In fact ? For a normal hello, You do say (Now Then)
That's what Jimmy savile would say.

So the mancs are good at working with small holes.

I don't get it? Why would OMBC get involved? There's no rules regarding shifts, its an NOV implemented initiative, are you all dumb? Your certainly playing up to Mancunian stereotypes.

Get a grip, stop moaning, stop being scum and leave the union back in the 70's. You sad lot.

Oldham council have been informed, they too are disgusted by the inept attitude of the decision to mix people together just for the sake of an early finish for certain management, a total disregard for shop floor workers and their families over Christmas, I just hope everyone, including their families are safe over this Christmas period, if this current ACTING plant manager carries on, we are in deep peril, not just with our jobs, but with our lives as well.

Again you were only requested to change/mix shifts you always had to right to ask for 2 weeks notice until you had to change shifts a union only works if we stay together. Oldham MBC 0161 770 7007

Post ID: @4hdl+18t1DMBr

Am I missing something, since when did shifts become part of the covid requirements? Oh right it isn't! Its just something that NOV manchester implemented (and only manchester), so if they wanted to take it away they can with no impact.

Oh and people have to pay to be in a union??? You dumb mugs!!!!! Ha ha ha!

Unions . . . A dead system brought about to k–l UK PLC. Lazy dead loss wasters who don't want to pull their finger out. . .funny how the word scum is now used to describe those that are part of a union . . . Dirty dirty scum!

Me and Mr Jones
We got a thing, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows he'll be there
holding union plans, and making all other kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs
Me and Mr, Mr. Jones (Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones)
We got a thing, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don't build our hopes up too high
Because he's got his own obligations
And so, and so, do I
Me and Mr., Mr. Jones (Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones)
We got a thing, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now.

I thought you were not allowed to mention any names on here. So who is in charge of NOV GREENGATE .? There seems to about 10 managers running around like headless chickens. And K.J get a grip and stop being a yes man.

Our great management team allowed people to work. Sat and sunday crossing into the other shift . Putting people at risk . All the management should be sacked. They have no idea how to run the place

Yes I’m not sure that would be a COVID secure workplace. As it’s in Oldham, it would need to be reported to the Environmental Services department at Oldham MBC as a possible COVID workplace breach. This can be done anonymously. The number I have is: ‪0161 770 7007‬

Hope that helps.

Andrew. I would suggest others that feel a line has been crossed also ring this number
