Phase One of a shorter working week is set to be introduced from the beginning of next month, after agreement was reached between the union and management for around 400 MDEC workers.
Staff at Royal Mail’s threeMDEC sites in Plymouth, Stokeand Farnworth will have a40-minute reduction – without loss of pay – to their weeklyduty rosters, a change equivalentto an hourly rate increase of 1.8per cent.
And, as part of the same agreement, a further hour is tobe shaved off – again withoutloss of pay – in October, which will be worth a 2.8 per cent hourly rate rise.Our MDEC members will be the first group of workers within Royal Mail Group to receive ashorter working week reduction since the introduction of the Four Pillars national agreement earlier this year.
CWU Postal Executivemember Dave Wilshire, wholed the talks with MDEC management on behalf of the union, told The Voice that he was“extremely pleased” that these members would be the first to benefit from this aspect of the new national agreement.
“It is pleasing to see that full-time MDEC keyers will be receiving the first 40-minutereduction in the working week,with part-time keyers receivingthe associated increases in the hourly rate,” he said and added his thanks for the support received from the on-site CWU reps in getting this reduction confirmed.

The Voice : Shorter working week reduction for MDECs
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
