The guy already works for Royal Mail and Holly’s advice is for someone who already works for Angard.

If you are employed directly by Royal Mail, then you can’t also work for them through an agency, as far as I know. And after the Christmas period there will be no guarantee of much work from Angard.

Can you pick up any extra hours at your DO? If not, have you asked if you can do additional hours at the Mail Centre, still employed by Royal Mail? We have posties who do overtime/extra hours at our MC - mainly on Sundays though.

I wish that was the case, had an email earlier cancelling earlies as follows..

“Unfortunately due to traffic volumes we are having to cancel this shift”

What the chuff does that mean?

We had someone who was employed at first through an agency, was offered and took a RM contract but continued to work Sundays through the agency.
I thought it was odd.

The work is just not high enough to get extra agency in, we had a few nights where agency were all canceled but xmas temps were all in.
