Depends on duty but I am a Full Time Walking Postman and start at 5.00 finish at 13:15

new times are 0600 - 14:15

P/T timers to start at 0800 at my place. (I think)

If I get the job on Thursday, I'll be a F/T Walking Postman, so probably be staring at 6:00am. I thought later, meaning like 8:00 for F/T.

including 14.15 finish on saturdays aswell...our boss is already shoehorning the later starts by not letting anybody out of the office until 9.30.these bosses they wouldnt get away with it any where else,they just want to get rid of as many posties as they can without paying them off.forcing people out the door,what kind of people are trying to run this firm.

Had the same argument myself just today about part time apropos full time and got the "it is RM policy NOT to employ full time staff so the Manager has to have what he gets" - I haven't seen a full timer here for 3 years. The most a contract has been is 30.5 hours but the majority are 25 hours. Some work 2 x 10 hour shifts and 1 x 5 over 3 days.

I thought RM was now classing 28hrs as FT (just like their heroes Wal-Mart)

a delivery office , the year 2015.

"ive got 12 bags today, then im covering steve who has gone sick, for nothing, also i have 10 households to put together but its ok i dont get paid for any of them".

South East Postie,a few years ago now I used to work for one of the big supermarkets and your "delivery office 2015" sounds exactly like the culture that prevailed there.

It is no coincidence that Leighton having come from Asda would like us to become like Asda workers very soon.

There is no room for complacency we must fight to hold onto what we've got.

is he for real no one is being taken on f/t are they? We have lost 3 full time staff but not getting f/t replacements, even though rounds done on docket nearly everyday.

Cannot see our tight fisted dom replacing F/T with F/T,he'd rather reduce hours to gain his fat annual bonus at our expense.
