El get yourself joined up to the Union ASAP mate its in YOUR BEST INTERESTS to do this - i'd say Monday coming would be best.. once a member speak to your AREA REP to deal with your problems, it'll be quickest & simplest way with dealing withyour issues... ( If you don't you'll be WORKING on our next Strike Day lol and i can see more Strikes looming.. )

You are worth just what a part timer is worth - a percentage of everything!!!.
95% of part timers don't get allowances for early starts so why should they get that part of the delivery supplement. 95% of part timers get their walks thrown out by full timers to allow them a "flyer " when they come in fresh from a good nights sleep. 95% of part timers can't sort - won't sort on IPS. If you don't like it el cartero, then do what 95 % of full timers did, and have the patience to wait until you become a full timer and work to support all the part timers who get exactly what they deserve - a part time payment for a part time job.

FFS fella get a grip on reality PLEASE !!!

At the end of the day, as the expression goes - You have to be in it to win it. So either join the Union to HAVE YOUR SAY AND VOTE and make YOUR VOTE COUNT or keep doing the angry mosquito dance that you are so famous for.

You want to start a rival Union for YOUR fellow PTs - reality check - -RM will not recognise it and will not deal with it. FULL STOP. PERIOD. So what do you expect to achieve from that ?

OK you are a bit miffed that YOU see that you are getting a bit of the crap stick as a PART TIME employee but there again - why not go FULL TIME ?? oh -whats that u cant get a FT job at RM - then GO SOMEWHERE ELSE for a FT job............ hmmm I hear u say a FT job somewhere else ?????? - yes believe it or not there are FT jobs elsewhere. So if you dislike the job and conditions so much get a job you like somewhere else. -simples-

edit: no, I do not agree in any part to what I have seen from Postmans link of the agreement and I will wholeheartedly vote no to it. But this guy really needs a lesson in Life.......

If he needs a reality check, you need a chill pill!!!!!!!

This is a forum, and there are a lot of people in my office asking what he is, new union, shall i come out etc and further more he is right about campaining for a no vote. Go fela, convince, bully and intimidate alls fair in love and war.
Shame you are not in the union, but i agree with you El C, why the hell would you want to join now.

Or you can be a full-timer. Come in early, rush around without stopping for a break; get back to the office two hours early and ruin the job for everybody...

Why the hell should a part-timer, being paid to just prep and deliver a round, even contemplate doing unpaid IPS? It is Royal Mail you should be pointing fingers at in that regard, not part-time staff.

I speak as a full-timer...

I`m sure the majority of part timers would like the opportunity to become fulltimers, but RM dont recruit FTs anymore.
So whilst I dont agree with el cartero not being a cwu member he is speaking on behalf of a great many part time workers.

not only do we need a NO .

We need CWU to realise much we are disgusted by them.

If u ask me we need a new leader and there should be candidates in place with a clear vision for us who we can vote for.

We have been used.
