Most of the new recruits at my office are claiming that they are told at induction that household delivery items are not compulsory,this was backed up by our union rep.However management insist they are compulsory.Can anyone clarify this?

Strange,especially your rep,as far as i know they are compulsory.
And you can go down the condut code if you refuse to do them.
I've seen guys at my DO's pulled up when they haven't done them.
It's in our contract apparently.

We are always told we have to do them. We've had a lot of new starters lately so I'll ask them what they have been told.

Th rules changed a few weeks ago and Door-to-Doors are no longer on every round. Companies can choose which rounds do which deliveries so perhaps that choice has also exteneded to the postman.

That has always been the case at our place, different areas have different D-t-D. As for the postman having a choice, i don't think so

Tell him you might persuaded to deliver on o/t as well d2d payments, if that is allowed.

That is pretty much how it used to be with us years ago, you were meant to do them but could get away with not. Sometimes though they used to load the blokes up that were on RTI duty but not let them claim the money.

They are s**t hot on us doing them now but surprise,surprise you come back off leave & find the previous weeks worth on your bench. Very few lads returning to work deliver the previous weeks though & screws make no effort in trying to convince us to.
