RMCtv : Later starts : The full list & Q&A'S

[GRS]

Remember - the finishing times are not the real finishing times as per this post here!...

RMCtv : No cut offs - ever - You take it out - you deliver it all.







Something that's important to cover off is that we're looking to enhance the commit to deliver principle, whereby if you're allocated some work for a route on a day, we would want that work to be completed. So if we look at our competitors, they wouldn't cut off and return to the Depo. With some work outstanding. What we're looking for within the really flexible hours approach is to have that ability to flex on the day outside of those scheduled hours. So that if there are variations from day to day, we complete that work. And if we go over the scheduled time, we bank those hours.

Only yesterday was expecting 2 packets from Amazon and got a message to say "We have delivered your items to the resident at blah blah address". Problem was nothing had arrived so was concerned it had been misdelivered. Day off today and lo and behold the Amazon driver turned up mid morning with the 2 packets. Turns out he ran out of time yesterday and submitted the items on the PDA as delivered. So they do cut off as well then. Check yer facts Dickhead Thompson!!

The only people who need committing to deliver is the whole board of RM it is their lack of commitment to find resolution where resolution is possible and their lack of engagement in finding resolution. They spaff millions on themselves and agency's wonder if a conflict of interests or is just puerile joke too them while shoving £50 notes up their noses and sniffing the high life!

If we are now a parcel company will the new changes scrap all door to doors to allow more time for the more profitable parcel side of the business? The 'competitors' certainly don't hang around shredding farm food leaflets through letterboxes.

Don't think they care you are just a cost to the business not an asset but king simon is GOD well we will see the emperor with no clothes springs to mind !

If RM could get them pre-collated into bundles then they could have separate duties doing them or employee people just to do them. Don't know how many they could realistically do over 8hrs

I know we are fighting for our jobs but to employ people just to deliver D2D's - that's just bizarre.

And SP have you ever tried sticking a flimsy D2D through a letterbox without a letter to help it through and the hound
of the Baskervilles on the other side of the door? No, didn't think so.

There are firms who employ people to deliver D2D so it's not bizarre. They don't have letters to poke through the letter box at the same time

That is why we warm call (I think I had 2 cold calls to finish off on Saturday) and they issue you with a posting peg as part of your PPE.

They don't deliver 1 or 2 lots though, and they leave them hanging out or behind the flap, i pull them back out.

Clash - not arguing with you there, however I have had on at least two occasions had posting pegs destroyed by hounds from hell.

Yes it is bizarre for you to suggest employing 'D2D posties', RM are saying they can't pay us 'regular' posties so where is the
extra money going to come from to pay 'D2D posties'. And I would suggest that the individuals that I've seen posting
pizza leaflets or whatever that get left hanging out the letterbox are not on national minimum/national living wage
or 'on the books' as an employee.

Guess you've missed the thread about 22,000 agency being brought in, if RM have the money to pay for all them (RM will be paying the agency more than what we're paid) then they've got the money to pay for the "D2D posties".

If we end up losing D2Ds then RM are bound to want to take more hours out of DOs

It's not 22,000.
It's 2,400.

Is it not a pain trying to tie up with all the door to doors already in the frame but only taking out the ones with mail? Ive tried that once and it was a nightmare.

Not so bad with single slotted frame. Impractical with double slotted, as then you have to start writing numbers on D2Ds to know which drop it's supposed to go.
