RMG/CWU BUSINESS RECOVERY, TRANSFORMATION AND GROWTH AGREEMENT:Sunday working

[POSTMAN]

6.3 Sunday Working

Sunday working will remain voluntary but for those that choose to work on Sundays;

• Individuals whose duty time already includes a Sunday and receive a Sunday
Premium will continue to receive it.
• For existing employees that choose to work on Sundays within duty time in the future,
Sunday Premium will continue to be paid.
• To encourage existing employees to work on Sundays, including additional earnings
opportunities, the options set out in 5.1 for dedicated parcel routes will also apply on
Sundays.
• Explore attractive and efficient duty structures and reward mechanisms which will
encourage current employees to migrate to DPR’s and remove the need for external
or alternative resourcing options.
• New employee contracts will include a requirement for regular Sunday working.
• In the event current employees do not volunteer to follow the work, after utilising and
developing all options contained in this agreement, Royal Mail reserves the right to
use alternative resourcing arrangements.

Aren't they "external" rather than alternate resourcing arrangements, which could well be forcing staff to work onSunday's?

I'm a newish employee (2 years) and my contract says I may be called in for occasional sundays... It's 1 in 3 at the moment, has been for a year and I was explicitly told that the 1/3 rota was a temporary measure. Now I've been told I may have to work every other, as agency staff are refusing it. I've asked about how the definition of "occasional" can legally mean "every other" but was just ignored
