Do you think this is justifiable or not?!
Question: Do you think this is justifiable or not!?
One of my friends died recently and the funeral is today!. Four girls at my work, who also knew him, want to take the day off (we work from 3 until 5)!. Our line manager has said no because the funeral is at 12!. They have made a huge hoo har out of it and said they're going to get the press onto my work because they won't let them take the day off!. Since being told no, they do the absolute minimum, and take long 'trips' around the school (we clean) just walking!. I don't know why they haven't been sacked yet but I think they're pushing it!. Do you think they've made too much of a to do about it or do you think they're right!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

If the funeral is at 12 I do not see a problem, they could go and be back at work for 3!. You don't say if the your friend (who died) worked with you, Usually the company would appoint someone to go to represent the company!.

It shows that people can withdraw their goodwill, if they feel that they have been unfairly treated!.
The Line Manager was unwise to stop all four from going and should have allowed at least one to go as a representative of the group!.
The leave was requested on compassionate grounds and it was unreasonable of the management not to let anyone go!.
The workers are expressing their disapproval at the decision and this dispute could develop into a long-standing grievance unless the management act swiftly!. They should develop guidelines on funeral attendance, so that this situation does not occur again!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
