Dear Colleagues,



During the recent ADR briefings the subject of ‘Streaming or Skimming’ of mail was raised by a number of reps and subsequently raised by me at the NDG. Royal Mail’s response was that they were unaware of it and it was only anecdotal, they needed firmer ‘evidence’. Therefore could reps please supply the dept via email with any instances where this has occurred or is occurring, naming the office and the manager of the office and how frequently this has occurred, and how the streaming actually occurs. In some cases the decision of what not to deliver has been left to OPGs which in itself is unacceptable. In other instances it forms part of absorption/lapsing where an OPG is taken off a delivery to allow others to absorb the delivery by only delivering the 1c and leaving everything else in the frame.



There is also an issue where offices have completed revisions and have not received the lump sum payments or the payments have been delayed. Could reps also provide the dept with evidence of this occurring once again naming the office and the manager, and in those cases where payments were delayed how long they were delayed.



Finally it has also been reported that units have signed off agreements at phase 4 only for the ‘agreement’ to be referred to a higher authority who has subsequently sent the agreement back as un-agreed and requesting further savings. Once again could reps please supply the dept with the name of the office, how many times this has occurred and what was the response from the higher authority.



Your urgent attention and response to this request would be greatly appreciated.



Please send your replies to bgibson@cwu.org no later than Thursday 11th November 2010.



Thanks

Bob,didn't you say how easy this was going to be at the London briefing,what was it you said,oh yes,just wave the agreement in front of the faces of managers.

Royal Mail’s response was that they were unaware of it

Thought everything had to be reported.

You managers are such muppets!

we have been " riddling " as we call it for over a year on saturdays

I inform management mainly saturdays that i cannot complete, and they tell me to leave out dsa, or go 1st class and dated

This was never an issue years back as dsa was mailsort mainly and didnt go saturdays

managers know all about it!!

Have a feeling that the managers will be doing that to us.

3 years and 2 months ago,

Hi all! Just wondered if anyone else has been intoduced to the new idea called streaming(willfull delay).

my walk is too big and i am waiting to be tested. The management make me pull out all the mailsort and second class if that is all i have for a house.

i am one of only a handful who have their breaks and do the job properly but get treated like a leper by the management.

This is my day today.
5.00 start prep
5.30 start sorting
6.20 back to prep
6.50 sorting
7.45 back to prep
8.00 missorts
8.20 break
9.00 back to tie up
9.45 start delivery
12.45 van picks me up
3hrs for a 3hr 45 delivery?

stream mail and cut off. Back to the office for the inquisition.
15 years and reduced to this.

Last Saturday my whole office streamed the mail, 1st, 2nd and dated went out only (and in one case 1st only) and this happens everytime we tell them we cannot complete the delivery in the time left.

Personally I'd like to have a definitive answer to be able to let the manager know that he shouldn't be doing that.


ps. Looking forward to Christmas if we can't even complete a normal day without streaming.

[Wiggins79]

That is exactly what you get told to do in our office when you threaten to cut off on a Saturday. So now are the CWU pretending they know nothing about it? How shocking.

Don't go giving Bob anymore work to do, he's supposed to be sorting out pro rata payments for part timers being unfair lol

I though he was sorting out the "fixed term contracts getting canned" issue.

[POSTMAN]

Na,Bob's sorting himself out a cushtie CDV duty,he said he'd jump at the chance of doing them if he had to go back on deliveries you know.
