Not covering jobs during low season
We've been told that jobs should not be covered with overtime and just failed as no overtime is to be paid during the low season hours . Out of 28 jobs we had 8 fail last week and a potential 12 next week . Only overtime allowed is extra delivery of 1 hr after duty . The management seem happy to even fail tracked now which was a red line weeks ago. Is this a national issue ?

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
We have a similar regime beginning on Monday, tomorrow. Tracked still have to be delivered on pain of death but if you run out of time that means both mail and Tracked will fail.gwells wrote: ↑14 Jul 2024, 17:02We've been told that jobs should not be covered with overtime and just failed as no overtime is to be paid during the low season hours .

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
Is the company in trouble financially or is it to do with the uso and them wanting it changed ? Our manager has been told to fail if you have to but not fail to badly

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
Not a word said by the CWU. Members in offices that have never failed are telling the Union about now failing. Not a peep out of Ward or Walsh.

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
Wonder if this wil also apply in MCs and if it'll mean no casuals. if it does, the wave 2 to DOs will be a lot heavier. they might even need to change the dispatch times to the DOs to make them later, to give us enough time to process the mail that comes in.
Manual letters and flats might need to be sacrificed to get SDs, Tracked and the mech done. If it gets bad enough I wonder if they'll have us run the mech down to just walk level only or even just down to office level.

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
If they won't pay OT apart from an hour, I'd politely decline to even do an hour.gwells wrote: ↑14 Jul 2024, 17:02We've been told that jobs should not be covered with overtime and just failed as no overtime is to be paid during the low season hours .

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
That’s what I do when they play these silly games. I just say no to any OT and let them flap about getting it cleared.yellowbelly wrote: ↑15 Jul 2024, 19:02If they won't pay OT apart from an hour, I'd politely decline to even do an hour.gwells wrote: ↑14 Jul 2024, 17:02We've been told that jobs should not be covered with overtime and just failed as no overtime is to be paid during the low season hours .

Re: Not covering jobs during low season
If they cut down on our staffing levels during the low season then it#ll take longer to process the mail, and therefore the mail won't be ready until later.
