Quite simple DONT go one minute over your hours, take all your breaks, DO NOT use a car, after all this if you have to return to the office with some of your delivery be ready for the dom to B******K you. I will be recording his comments on my phone. P.S all you drivers NOTHING in the front of the vehicle all in the back.
Sorry for being so negative but am really getting fed up with being harrassed and bullied by these idiots.

The worm will turn sooner or later, i will sure be there to wave them off :wave :wave :wave

CUT OFF,CUT OFF, CUT OFF, no matter what they say or how many times they threaten you, nobody can make you work for nothing it is ILLEGAL, just stand up to them, I am sick to death of all this s**t god it's only a job.I like most of us on this site have a young child/children, we have to get them from school, you are never going to put him/her second just because the workload exceeds your hours work to your time no more no less. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

OMG :shock: Why did they sign that - they voluntarily gave up OT payments - that folder of indiscretions the boss had must have been a big one.

No Union representative or Royal Mail manager can sign an agreement that would reduce your legal rights (Overtime is optional by law).
This agreement is not enforcible although some Managers would like to think they are above the law, they clearly are not.
Ask your local Rep to take it up with an area representative or divisional representative, and get this resolved quickly before people in your office become used to it and stop complaining.
