Dear Colleague

Door to Door Arrangements - Christmas 2009

In line with our existing National Agreement covering Door to Door we have now confirmed with Royal Mail that there will be no delivery of Door to Door items for the following weeks during the Christmas period:-

Week Commencing 14th December 2009

Week Commencing 21st December 2009

Week Commencing 28th December 2009

The delivery of Door to Door items will resume week commencing 4th January 2009, including Scotland.

We are also aware that a few offices in the North West have agreed to deliver Door to Door week commencing 14th December 2009 to support a customer with a particular distribution issue.

Yours sincerely

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Aren't we meant to do them in our own time ie prepping them and not allowed to book OT if they take you over your time on delivery, as they are an "extra" payment?

Don't worry about it, it's one of those things that comes up every few weeks that management always say tht D2Ds have to be done in your own time, just print off the document and show it to you DOM and then wait for the usual 'that's an old agreement and it doesn't apply anymore' but just ask him for the one to replace it. :Very Happy

Cheers for the responses.

Thought I'd bump this instead of making a new thread. Are we due a pro-rata bonus over Christmas then? Would help seeing as there's no D2Ds to deliver! :d'oh!
