Royal Mail have been running a two-tier workforce for months


We have Royal Mail workers

and we have agency workers


Will this continue once we are out of lockdown?

You want to create a two-tier workforce? And how long would RM take to decide that those in the lower group should get a lower hourly rate?

All I’m saying is I’m on a 5 hour contract, and if I only want to do 5 hours, then I just get paid 5 hours and am given a round to be done in 5 hours even if it means being handed van keys and a tied up round as I enter the office doors.

RM don’t currently pay people on FT hours a lower hourly rate when they come back 90 minutes early on a Saturday. So it should be no different to those PT only wanting to do their hours being given a workload to match.

In my section alone there’s 46 rounds. There’s approximately 55 staff doing those rounds, of those 55 staff 14 are PT. But there’s only 1 round that can be done in 5 hours. It’s a farce and RM know it.

From what ive been hearing, if you cant schlep round a 5 hour plus round in your scheduled time, RM want you out the door! Love from your caring employer. True story.

This has been the case at my Mail Centre for the 10 years I've been there nothing to do with Lockdown. Agency staff now get to decide which jobs they do and Royal Mail Staff fill the jobs they don't want
