It’s f***ing disgusting that those two overpaid lazy twats at the top of the CWU are in hiding/on an extended summer holiday whilst this continues to take out delivery offices and their staff one by one across the country.
It’s ODM in a slightly different name and no amount of their stupid propaganda will convince me otherwise.
We had it brought in 3 weeks ago and it’s absolutely insane the work we are not expected to do going forward. Leaving second class on one side saves some time no doubt but a lot of that time disappears with double mail on the other side. It will NEVER free up enough time for a postie to do another third of a delivery even on the longer shifts available in the pick of shitty options that Walsh served us up. Walsh and Ward should be front of the queue demonstrating how this can be done because it’s not f***ing possible by a human being, maybe an OpenAI android could do it in the future but not us.
I’m sure my post will be deleted from this board as I’ve probably went overboard criticising the waddling Demi gods that run the union but who cares anymore. Like many I’m now absolutely done with this ridiculous f***ing job and I’m determined to be out of here in the next 6-12
Months.We are payed nowhere near enough to deal with this crap. Complete s**t show.
Well said, it’s not even started in our office yet, it keeps getting pushed back as the ‘parameters’ aren’t being met. Long may that continue, it sounds like a horror story and it’s only August. Imagine Peeeek.
Ours goes live in 2 weeks ,no training and no one has a clue what shift system we are doing ,the union have abandoned us but we all knew this would be the case Dave and his mates have done this time and time again ,has the union signed ours off we have no idea ,its going to be an absolute mess ,but i dont give a f--k anymore as 99% of posties dont either this company can collapse for all i care ,what a way to run a company .
Absolutely awful in ours. Van shares failing spectacularly. Not many people knowing the areas added onto their duty. People working rurals without training so having to just do the job as a DPR route and not deliver any mail. People coming back with lots of tracked. It's a complete mess.
My office is on that list and we definitely haven't gone live. We're understaffed by at least 10 people, and virtually every walk is failing mail everyday (I had 4 days' mail on half of my delivery today), and undelivered D2Ds from weeks ago are piled up underneath the frames. The powers that be (above the level of COM) have reluctantly postponed inplementation due to these issues, but are trying to put pressure on our rep to sign us off as ready to go, with the implication that if he doesn't they'll force it in by executive action.
The rep said 'no go'?

Why did the rep say "go'?

It looks a lot like lapsing to me, except on a grander scale (tell me it isn't when I find myself without a duty yet again)
Its certainly a formalisation of the post-22 revisions. Its worth noting that the agreement says that the duties have to be clearing otherwise they go 50/50.

Theyve started it in ours. Its failed everyday so far. We are understaffed and started it without a clear office so had no chance. Theres been no training so half our office has no idea where they are going. Even with unlimited overtime and support staff its been a trainwreck

Yes, he's refusing to sign us off and he's constantly in the COM's office arguing about our state of unreadiness.
