Yes we need nice breaks at times. I've booked off three days between Easter and ANZAC day so I get ten days off in a row. Our workshop manager encouraged this and lots of us have done the same thing. I get paid as a casual so no pay, but that's gonna have to be fine.

I did the same. No way could I be bothered to go to work for 3 days between Easter and ANZAC. A little holiday for the price of of 3 annual leave days. What a deal!

For sure. I asked my workshop manager yesterday if there were any people going in during that three days. He scowled and said yes three. There was a 74 year old working there until recently and he would even work on Saturdays. I don't get it.
