Your DOM is bullshitting you.

If your office lets him throw seniority out the window on your heads be it but this wont happen in our D/O.

Im a bit confused as to why your rep let your DIM do what he has and most importantly why the office let him do it ??????????????????????
Think the CWU rep was fingering our DOM at the time :hmmmm :speak to the hand :Sick
Sounds like it contact your branch mate tell them whats happened and get it changed.

Basically what has happened in my office is the DOM has decided which duties are going to be part time and Full time. All the walks are the same length so its the work that is done inside that determines a full time and part time duty. Now because of this seniority has gone out of the window on the resign. Surly he should have started at the top of the seniority list and changed the duty to part time only when a part time person picks it? Also because he has done it this way where only part timers can pick part time duties (which he has decided to be part time) people right down at the bottom of the list have a duty and full timers higher up the list don't! People who have worked for royal mail for 12-15 years don't have a fixed duty yet people who started 12months ago do!!
in our office i am on a 36 hour contract most the full timers finish before me and other part timers. me and a collegue are currently working over 45 hours per week ,been in the job 15 years now its a joke.i am allways knackered.we have no union rep,if you threaten to work to your time you are made to feel like a criminal,disgusting.we are all just a number

I know the feeling...the response you get from a dom when you mention that you will be working your contracted hours disgusts them. I say tough, your not going to work to make friends with your dom, you go there to do a job bring home a pay packet and thats it.

Not sure how many times i've said this, but i'll say it again just work to your time and if your willing to do the overtime then go ahead, but make sure they don't walk all over you because they will find you weak, and you'll be an easy target.
