It's not a case of being bluffed through. If they are going to pay you 3 hours for half a delivery for example then you aren't going to say no only pay me 2 as it won't take 3 are you?

Some of our guys regularly used to do about 60 hours overtime every week. But its all changed now as the company have recruited more part-timers on 20 hour contracts. Also, managers are expected to do deliveries as well to keep the costs down.

it's not that they will pay you 3 hours to do half a delivery it's how much of that 3 hours is actually "overtime". An extra 30 hours a week.....some very late finishes there if it's all real OT

Managers AREN'T expected to do walks at all! I'm sure that is against national agreements? Maybe someone can shed light on that?
