LTB 024/23 - RMG'S EXECUTIVE ACTION ON REVISION/CHANGE PROGRAMME IN DELIVERY OFFICES & MAIL CENTRES

Later starts? Bring it on.

A normal, healthy working day should not start in the small hours and finish at lunchtime ish. And there's no need for it.

9 to 5 is a modern civilised working day.

Not on a weekend though

Speak for yourself.
Most I know much prefer to start & finish earlier. Who wants to be getting home at 6pm?

[guardianangel]

They gave us one month notice today our starting time going to change one hour late from 1 march

Are those with kids able to start at the old time? One hour later for me means missing the school run.

Nope ,easy way of getting rid of a few 1000 more,put up with it or leave.

"The people who can and want to work for Royal Mail"

They don't care a mostly agency workforce is what they are aiming for,the writing is on the wall,all those sat back thinking it wont happen are truly mistaken,its happening right before our eyes and shareholders and Tory party turn a blind eye,if your young enough to start again id get out quickly.

Struggling to think of anyone, apart from maybe bank tellers (and they’re a dying breed), who actually works 9 to 5.

What is happening to the posties who are getting displaced from their duties. Surely there will be excess bodies in these offices. Also excess bods from CSP offices will be spare!

[SpacePhoenix]

Locally we have had a roll back on the start times they wanted us to change to as they were told there wouldn’t be compliance. They also seem to be about to give up on the blanket 1 in 6 approach. Stick together and make your voices heard.

At some point the mail is going to be travelling later through the pipeline and at that point there's not going to be any choice on the later starts

I do all those things anyway, apart from the van checks because I have the same van everyday so it seems rather silly checking the tyres I know are fine, so it doesn't really get me much further forward.

Do the van checks EVERY day. If you have any sort of incident, 1 of the first questions will be did you do your van checks? if you didn't do the van check, it'll be an instant blameworthy

I doubt it... most offices are probably understaffed. Although, I am guessing by your comment - your office is not understaffed or if it is, it isn't by much. Sounds like you have 'floats'/day off cover. Our big office has had no day off cover for 2 years. Zero.

In our office there's probably at worst 12 displaced from their duties, but the whole office is understaffed by 50.

[yellowbelly]

Royal Mail bringing in the changes THEY want, not what we want....

Again - they are shafting you and they don't care...

Shaft them back by not working a single minute for free. No starting early, no finishing late, take every minute of your breaks. No rushing. Do the van checks.

It’s the only way.

A vehicle is always fine until the day it isn't - nail in tyre, bulb gone u/s, leak of fluids unnoticed from previous day?

[Bosley]

Never mind later starts, how about not coming in early before your start time and taking your breaks for a start. Posties are there own worst enemy

[twoloops]

Royal Mail not stupid, they introduce later start times knowing a good two thirds of the posties will still turn up an hour, hour & half earlier for free time to lock the doors until opening time

I'd go back to 5am starts any day

[KilledOff]

So much focus on the re ballot and too little too late now with executive action.

I thought the postal executive were meeting last week or the week before to decide some sort of action against this imposed executive action??

It may be risky to call strikes before the ballot is done.
Not the best time to clog up the pipeline.
Royal Mail timed this deliberately maybe.

Strike it is then

[ANDREW CROCOMBE]

Have asked this question to so many people without an answer : with the end of year figures soon and what that includes, Can these revisions be reversed or lessened ? Even the cwu can't answer, I think they ARE in, and we'll just have to deal with the s**t and under staffing for years to come. If 2023 has crap profits then what happens in 2024 ? More slash and burn until we're half the staff numbers we are now

[Moose67]

They have only been introduced so that management get their nice yearly bonus just keep breaking off and show it up for what it is a pack of lies motivated by greed yet again

[SpacePhoenix]

To a point revisions in MCs will have a knock on affect on revisions in DOs, when work arrives later into inward MCs, which will result in final dispatch times to DOs being made later
