Indoor staff in my office get D2D payment, coffee machine at their disposal a roof over their head when there is inclement weather heating system etc, all while the posties are earning their D2D payments for them. Well done the Union the D2D payments were the biggest con of all. Rant over.
THERE IS NO D2D PAYMENT ANYMORE! :arrrghhh

Cut the red tape out we all know posties do the D2D and non posties DO NOT do D2D but still get the DELIVERY SUPPLEMENT which is another phrase for D2D :arrrghhh
NO bags on shoulders please except for Moya who keeps her big fat wage packet in hers

There''s your clue :Very Happy

Is it right - Not in my opinion.

Has it been handled well by the Union. :left: :left: :left: :left: :left:

Still if we want to tackle the unfairness and/or change it we need to recognise what it is and what it is for, otherwise our position is weakened and nothing will happen.

Shattered! But I'm a new postie so everything is aching. Once I've finished work I've got to pick kids from school, make tea, do homework, bath, bed time etc so by the time they are asleep I want to go too haha, but then I've got washing to sort or ironing etc. Zzzz

I always am tired in the evening time :( but after nap and dinner I go out on Friday and Saturday night dancing. I also like to watch films but can't watch them in the afternoon after work as I always seem to doze off :( Hated working 6 days a week as I got no chance of a lie in :(
