How Many Line Mangers keep a written and signed record of cars being used by staff.

They are supposed to physically check all cars on a yearly basis and also check there is a valid M.O.T.

Failing to keep records would not amuse visiting Environmental Health & Safety Officers.

As a Manager they are responsible for the Safety of the Staff under
The Management of Health & Safety Regulations 1999.

Having said this the CWU have never agreed to use of cars on delivery.

The im alright jack and jills are just cutting there own throats.

Having said this the CWU have never agreed to use of cars on delivery.

For the last five or six years we've had the DOM and screws telling us the CWU are trying to negotiate a payment for the use of cars. They lie better than an Axminster carpet.

Hang on a minute plodder you were the one who started this by calling us narrow minded, because we are fighting to save our jobs and yours and you have the arrogance to criticise us, its because people like you are rushing around that RM can make the savings they want, if they get their way then within 12 months 40,000 people will lose their jobs, theyve said that not me, so if they win then yes we probably will be down the job centre, you as well, and if you do keep your job i can guarantee that theres no way you will be finnishing early no matter what the reasons you rush around, because you will have an extra half a walk to deliver, half of one of 40,000 who will go, and trust me it wont stop there, im not really sure what your protesting about, we would all like to finnish early, but theres a much much bigger picture to consider, we can all see this, im just really sad and surprised you cant...UNITY IS STRENGTH.

As he said ive only given my opinion and is my right as it is FREE SPEECH!!! As plodder said.. FREE SPEECH WORKS BOTH WAYS!!!!

And as you said in a earlyer post "you dont know me or the situations in my office so dont judge me." Well plodder once you post something on this site you will be judged,,, ITS LIFE GET OVER IT !!!!! If you had strength in your convictions then you wouldnt care about others that disagree with you plodder!!! A lack of morals and backbone thats all you show...

I can understand this disagreement from all sides.

Not using your car saves you money on fuel, repair bills etc. (and causes grief for managers)

Using your car for conveyance - yes you incur more costs (and business insurance is required (it's also necessary if you work at different locations)), however you don't have a wait of up to 1 hour for a driver to get back to the depot to take you out. Also as some people will have a journey of several miles to get to the DO their actual delivery may be just round the corner from where they live why not get the car most of the way home.

Using the car as a mobile bag drop - This is the option that I hate as it can make the car more vulnerable to crime. However as I have been left waiting for 1 1/2 hours for a bag to be dropped off (after phoning the depot twice) I can understand why some people will do this. I have also had a driver asking me why I didn't take all the bags out myself.

I have also had drivers who have refused to take packets that are too big for me to take, who have insisted that all bags for them have been ready before 08:30, and refused to take bags if management will be taking 1 bag to the same bag drop location.

No matter how much abuse / insults get thrown at people who chose to use their cars it is their choice. Many of us may not agree with this choice but we must respect their right to chose.

The quickest way to reduce the amount of cars being used would be to end the Job&Knock culture that exists. If all delivery staff had to return to the depot after delivery then what would be the point of using your car.
