The CWU never thought Royal Mail would write off Black Friday and Xmas , once that happened it was all about the CWU getting out still in one piece.
A slight rephrase: once that happened it was all about RM getting the CWU(‘s influence and power) out in one piece. It achieved that, arguably, with the new-entrant workforce. It pits friends and colleagues either side of divide, legacy and new contract, against one another.
Legacy workers didn’t and don’t want to work Sundays, this paved the way for the 2 tier workforce we now have , Royal Mail got what they wanted on our reluctance to change.
That's not true and was a lie put about by the CWU to force workers to accept worse conditions. Many postal workers were already working Sundays as part of their working week or on overtime. Sunday deliveries were happening well before 2022.
Working ot on a sunday is not part of the working week? Its done by volunteering.
Prior to 2022 many workers had Sunday deliveries as part of their contract.
Total garbage.

I haven’t done a 739 card for a 1st attempt tracked for about a year now and have no comeback. Customer gets email and texts to manage the delivery and they mostly don’t bother so why should I .
I consider it proof of attempted delivery. The PDA is not renowned for being reliable, and the backend of the system is a black box to us. The time spent filling a card per attendance is (supposed to be) accounted for in outdoor time. Some people are awfully keen on being rewarded with even more DPs.
The machine stops.

Thanks to, yes you guessed it, the CWU, workers were coming into the postal industry on contracts with minimal hours. Those workers were increasing their contract hours by adding Sundays to their contracts. Plus plenty of CWU members were already working Sundays as part of their contract. You can keep on saying it's not true but your just proving what an ignorant organisation the CWU is. If you're some sort of mouthpiece for the CWU your ignorance is staggering.

Let us know how you get on. My experience is that these people simply don't reply.

It wasn't a massive yes at all. Are you part of Chris Webb's pisspoor comms department.

And the way you post on here leads us all to think you are an ex postie — and one who has previously been banned from this forum under the alter-ego CarryingMgmnt, plus possibly another username before that. True or false?
