removal of early shift allowance and drivers allowance

Post by rmdriver »

Hi, Just been informed by DOM that early shift allowance is to be removed next week if you start after 5.30am and drivers allowance is to be stopped. Has this been agreed nationally by the union?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Is this just a rogue manager getting himself off on his powertrip for one last time or is there a wider agenda?

In my opinion, RM were trying to provoke a strike for eigteen months, at least, before it went to ballot and with the rumour mill in overdrive again I am wondering if it would suit their agenda for the strikes to resume.
