[QUOTE="Vaper, post: 1528242, member: 355109"] Thank you for your further reply, I know a few lines on here makes it difficult for anyone to fully understand the whole picture. The company worker is just digging their heels in, as I said previously 2 of the others are happy to accommodate, what I hadn't mentioned as yet due to staffing shortages we have not worked a proper roster in over 2 years and other than myself with the medical restrictions we have not done day turns for over 2 years. Myself and another company worker put together 2 rosters that would allow every one to do some days but my shifts would never include a night turn as previously explained. So I have been sympathetic to all the teams needs and we worked hard at finding a roster that worked and kept the 24/7 level of cover. I appreciate people have things in life they need to do but reasonable efforts from them would be common courtesy to expect. I have just finished a 6 week course a derivative of the Desmond course in order to qualify for either a pump trial or libre trial, both my senior diabetic specialist and consultant agreed with me that the libre would be the best option in my case. The ideal is both but the funding will not allow that at this time. The main reason they feel the need for the libre is the added dangers with safety critical work in a 750v Dc environment. The hectic nature of the role does not allow suitable time to constantly carry out finger pricking tests and I can be required to be trackside at a seconds notice ie a radio call. It's a difficult situation I know and just need advice on how I move forward and what my rights are. All your comments are valued and I appreciate everyone's replies [/QUOTE]
