overtime...

[clashcityrocker]

We all need to stand together , no point saying I cannot afford it ,nobody can ,,,

Yes .....but some can not afford it more than others.
Unless those on f/t contracts are going to give some money to their striking p/t colleagues?

[BingBong]

Well, I can't afford to take part in an overtime ban on a 25 hour contract, so I won't be..............

If we don't all stand together we will end up on less hours in the long run or even possibly jobless!

I'll be stunned, flabbergasted and amazed if there is an Overtime Ban, get the docket in like a squirrel and store it up for the bad times that are fast approaching.

october or november if they do the right ballot.overtime ban you can forget to many greedy bastards willing to do
duties for less hours, as for dockets they dont exist anymore as this names the managers bail out boys.
and has our union ever been fast approaching on anything.

We need to do something which will hit Royal Mail without hurting our pay.

I would agree to an overtime ban, if we go on strike we get no pay at all, full time or part time. Some money each week is better than no money at all.

An overtime ban would be just as effective as most if not all MCs and DOs rely on overtime to clear

People need to get an overtime ban out of their heads,It isn't going to happen.

Apart from being unworkable,impossible to police and unfair on part-time staff it just doesn't have the effect that people imagine it will.

Our office has a core budget of around 4,000 hours per week and a pressure overtime spend of around 200 hrs...that's only 5%. so to say the office relies on overtime is pushing it a bit.

3 or 4 agency staff would cover that and although it's unlawful to supply agency workers to replace striking staff that obviously does not apply to an overtime ban so you could expect Royal Mail to simply replace the hours we refused to do with casual resource at very little cost to the business.

Overtime bans can work in conjunction with a strike but only in limited circumstances but they do absolutely nothing on their own.

If you are preparing for battle get your full on war face sorted,lets not pretend this can be sorted with a gentle slap on the face.

So when we are on strike you will cross the picket line because you can't afford to work without overtime, when we are privatised there will be no overtime any way so maybe you need to find a full time job then?

[Darren Bent]

It is not good time for job hunting anyway. I would prefer to wait and see what happens and hope there will be a very good EVR package to offer after getting little windfall from sale, bonus (if there is one), backdated pay and xmas. We don't know what will happens in next 6 months anyway. New employers could be very good for us but we doesn't know yet.

I have a 25 hour contract and tend to work around 40-45 hours a week. I cannot afford to take part in an overtime ban. I live on overtime. I want a full-time contract but asking for one for the last four years just falls on deaf ears, both from the CWU & RM.

I agree with you same problem here. If I am lucky one day and get full-time position I would not bother to do over-time anymore.

Maybe the OPG would like an FT position (within or outside RM). Are you not being a little bit harsh?

All he is saying is that he cannot afford to not work. I would not be overly critical.

BTW: I am PT ; and do not even get offered Overtime .. but I would not cross a picket line to make up my hours.

Yes I would like a full-time position at RM and have been asking for one for the last four years. And thanks for the support, this is why I don't give a flying f**k about 'supporting' fellow workers when I get shafted by colleagues, RM & CWU week-in week-out.

And as you say when we ARE privatised there'll be no more overtime, so I might as well cross a picket line and earn as much cash as I can before the inevitable.

My family comes first, not my work collegues who don't care about me.
