Bank Holiday Services
(28 Mar 2017, 11:15 pm)Ambassador They don't care. As if proven by their scheduling and attitude.
We're a service led economy up here, large numbers of people work Bank Holidays and the rest tend to go out and enjoy. They aren't the lazy Sundays they once were and none of the companies have reacted.
Welcome to the North East, the local public transport time is 1950.
But hey....we've got power sockets and NSAs!

If GNE, or any other company, approve too many holiday requests, that's poor management. Sundays and bank holidays are not God-given rights as days off, the law seems them as any other day. Any extra benefits surrounding bank holiday working are at the discretion of the employer and can be withdrawn.
