Work are making us do 80 hours of overtime between mid-September and the first week of January because they are so short staffed.
We used to do 80 hours of lieu days but that was over 12 months.
I work in a warehouse handballing heavy products off lorries - I honestly don't think I can physically do it. It's gruelling at the best of times doing 40 hours. I also cycle a ten mile round trip to get there every day...in the winter months i have towalkto work (no buses.) I am thinking of resigning this week. I am not in a union because they're useless where I work, and anyway they let this go through in the first place.
Is this legal?
