I’m in the union and fully support it but call
Me crazy but why do we get paid extra, it’s our job to deliver mail right?!

What BS. You let your manager know you need to be finished on time so you estimate what you will be leaving. It’s clear and precise enough anyway where we work. You need to communicate with your union rep and manager clearly the problems. f***s me off people complaining about going over every day when their is absolutely no obligation to do so.

If I go over I don't claim for them and just book. You get what, 3 quid per 100? Before tax?

This post proves how crap our union is.

No limit on our rounds

No respect for our right to a family life

No regard for dignity and respect

No joint agreement on cut off procedure.

100% union to blame

What, do you consider management are blameless even though every point is specifically their responsibility.

There is a joint national agreement on cutting off - its in downloads and is called Overunning Delivery Procedure.

Lovely, my already hard route is going to be even harder. So much political crap to be delivered.

So far we've already had the Brexit Party ones (extremely unpleasant seeing Nigel Farage's smug face hundreds of times a day) and Labour, today the Greens turned up. As a part time reserve I have no idea how I'm gonna go about getting paid for these, there doesn't seem to be a system in place. What's even worse is that the D2D's for the round I'm covering this week haven't even been thrown off yet because there's apparently only been enough time to throw off the Brexit Party ones and some of the Labour ones. It's ridiculous. Someone came past my frame today and implied that I've been lazy by not throwing any of this crap off, but there is literally no time. I come in at half 8, my frame has not even begun to be prepped, so I rush around getting it prepped and tied up so that we can get out the door at a reasonable time, the round is long and far from the DO so there is no chance of finishing early even on a 'light' day like today. It's impossible.

Ask your DOM or PHG for a sheet to fill in for the election materials.
