Not covering jobs during low season

[gwells]

We've been told that jobs should not be covered with overtime and just failed as no overtime is to be paid during the low season hours . Out of 28 jobs we had 8 fail last week and a potential 12 next week . Only overtime allowed is extra delivery of 1 hr after duty . The management seem happy to even fail tracked now which was a red line weeks ago. Is this a national issue ?

We have a similar regime beginning on Monday, tomorrow. Tracked still have to be delivered on pain of death but if you run out of time that means both mail and Tracked will fail.

Is the company in trouble financially or is it to do with the uso and them wanting it changed ? Our manager has been told to fail if you have to but not fail to badly

They're (CEO and minions) just lazy greedy scumbags

Not a word said by the CWU. Members in offices that have never failed are telling the Union about now failing. Not a peep out of Ward or Walsh.

Wonder if this wil also apply in MCs and if it'll mean no casuals. if it does, the wave 2 to DOs will be a lot heavier. they might even need to change the dispatch times to the DOs to make them later, to give us enough time to process the mail that comes in.

Manual letters and flats might need to be sacrificed to get SDs, Tracked and the mech done. If it gets bad enough I wonder if they'll have us run the mech down to just walk level only or even just down to office level.

If they won't pay OT apart from an hour, I'd politely decline to even do an hour.

That’s what I do when they play these silly games. I just say no to any OT and let them flap about getting it cleared.

If they cut down on our staffing levels during the low season then it#ll take longer to process the mail, and therefore the mail won't be ready until later. It's not exactly rocket science
