They can dress it up as much as they like but if they'res a change to finishing times and no ceasing of bullying and harassment that's rife in DO's and the excessive uneven workloads we face each day its still a big fat NO vote from me.

I know I'm an ex postman driver, but I worked on delivery, mail centre, tpo and airport on overtime as driver. We all had the same terms and conditions except for certain allowances for driving, tpo ect. But when they started putting us into (groups) of delivery with paid m/r and network drivers with unpaid m/r, changed NDA for all between 7pm to 6am and introduced all sorts of different payments for us we ended up not knowing who was doing what for who and how much so we were more unsure about hitting the street as we didn't know exactly what the strikes were for and why and who. Classical divide and conquer. The union saw this coming. Wtf were they doing. I still support the union but they need new blood from top to bottom. Its time to get their f___g act together. There is no competition. Nobody else can do delivery and its as simple as that. A couple of weeks on the street and everything goes to pot, even with all this internet ect , the only ones set up for it is YOUS. No other company can do it. Don't believe their bullshit.

will get an extra 2.6% pay rise based on the hour reduction. However there are discussions about reintroducing paid meal reliefs so it depends on how successful this is.
I know on network we do 36.25 hours a week but have unpaid meal reliefs but do the professional drivers work less than a 39 hour week already as I thought they have paid meal reliefs?

Everyone is entitled to paid meal relief/breaks. The trouble being a lot of the time there isn't time within the duty to take them.

To qualify everyone in deliveries employed by Royal Mail are entitled to paid meal breaks.

However, Angard and other casuals get a break but it isn't paid.

No it isn't, the 2.6% comes from the hours reduction from 39 hours to 38......if that is in the proposed deal!!

I don't understand what this deal is and I thought the 7.5 drivers do 39 or 40 hours a week with paid meal reliefs and logistics 17t and up do 36.25 with unpaid meal reliefs.
If it's true which I am sceptical about but would be very happy with by April on logistics we could have over a 7% pay rise.
That's 2.6 for 2017+2.6 for the hour and say 2% for 2018 and that's 7% +
When you add that to our salary that's a great pay rise. Well done cwu if we get anything like this.

We were told the other day the pay rise is a two year deal of 2.2% backdated to April 2017. Not 2.6% .

We were also told or rumoured on here that there could be a choice higher amount and no back pay or lower amount and back pay. Me personally would go for no back pay

I suppose it depends how much higher the higher amount is and how long a period of getting paid the higher amount it would take us to claw back the back pay!
