cissolt Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Do we know how many cruise ship busses were cancelled due to staff sickness? Or was it just the Manx people who were penalised? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we didn’t provide contracted buses for the cruise passengers our reputation as a tourist destination would have taken even more of a beating so they took priority. To be fair there’s too many buses for the numbers using them & the schedules need reducing to fit demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed doctors and hospital appointments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned there’s too many buses for demand & normally only a short wait for another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Eddie Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Tim Crookalls statement on Manx Radio this evening about this was quite funny. Apparently it’s because everyone is “tired” and he mentioned covid again. I wonder how many forum members would still have a job if they told their boss they were “tired” and would it be ok if the company didn’t deal with any customers for a few weeks so that they might feel a little less “tired” after the pandemic was very stressful. The public sector, as Cannan said today, needs a massive kick up the ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Johnson Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Contractual obligations is Longworths go to bull shit repy to anything. He was asked to provide proof before and I am 100% sure if asked again there would be none. Private enterprise should be doing the cruise ships in any case, its pathetic, yet again from BV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public sector sickness absences are way above private sector despite what Teachers like Helix say & need sorting ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think the drivers are unhappy with their pay and conditions and have decided to flex their muscles in an unofficial way and who can blame them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
