Same duty is always lapsed - Help

Post by Broxi51 »

A few months back our office had a re-sign and all duties were taken. Then came the quiet summer and
the lapsing. The Dom decided to make the same town walk the lapsing duty which meant that the postman
who had signed for it was shifted onto other duties on a day to day basis. His days off were changed and not
rotational that his own duty would have been. We now have a new manager who has continued to lapse even
though most duties are saying No Thanks, we cant. The postie for the lapsed town walk is now getting pissed off
and wants to know what he can do to get on his duty. He has asked the new manager when he first started but
the new manager didnt know what could be done. What is the correct procedure to get onto the duty you signed
for? Is there anything in any lapsing agreements that state that it should NOT be the same duty, week in, week out?
If the manager still doesnt know what can be done, should the postie put in a grievance and flag it higher?
Our union rep isnt hear at the mo.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for 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.
