Lapsing walks

[dohnut]

Apparantly next week we are starting to lapse walks. I.e instead of 1 person doing a walk around 5 people will split it as well as there own walk, anyone else do this have any info about how it went ect.

[not me]

think yourself lucky,we have never stopped lapsing since last summer
just remember your whole duty inc lapsing must be completed within your time

This has come up so many times on here,is it right,what's the score with the P&M deal?

Our office is so short on staff, I started doing bits of other walks within the first week that I started there!

We`ve been doing lapsing since last year, June I think,we got hit with Geo-route and lapsing in one week,the lapsing bit was only 15 mins split between about 15 of us but was still a pain in the ass to do, as for a few it was miles away from our delivery,now they want us to do 1 in 5 lapsing and take another two walks out of our section.something like 10 duties office wide are going!

I think it depends on how big your walk is?, Say your walk only takes 3 hours and they want you to do an extra bag of around 30 mins you cant really complain. However if your walk is 4 1/2 hours and they want an extra bag that is not fair, will see how it goes

Pay and Modernisation Agreement - the one agreed after the strikes of 2007, flexibility, lapsing, later starts all the good stuff

As far as i know IF your own delivery is going to take 3.5 hrs THEY CANNOT make you take the extra bit. if they bully you, take note and report.
Take full breaks, don't use your car etc etc

Our office is just about to have a new DUM why you may ask,well we need someone who is more cut and thrust,dynamic ready to get changes in fast,they have chucked the known idiot out who could see that we were getting very near to brick wall with no more room to move.so at WTLL we had a manager come in and tell us all the pretty bits like,how well the office is doing and all that bla, bla, bla then comes out with saving jobs,money and all that,he then said that they had decided to not cover walks when staff are off sick and that we would be covering walks between us,to add to that he then said we had to look at protecting our jobs as the mail was going down thing is when they tried it before it all went wrong so they had to stop it all, so it looks like we are all going to have this pushed at us.

Unfortunately under the P&M agreement lapsing rounds on the 1st day of sickness has been agreed I think, along with summer lapsing. Its permanent lapsing that they keep trying on that has not been agreed.

I believe it's the last bit the little hitler has been sent in for,he reckons he's some sort of god that you ain't gonna mess with,i think that's how it was put,we will have to wait and see!

our section has been 'summer' lapsing 1 walk since last year, 2 weeks ago we started lapsing 2 walks, along with my colleagues i book overtime for this. Cant see how this saves RM any money, most of use taxis to get there and we all book overtime. We recently had all the walks amended because the majority were too long, we've waited about ten years to have them adjusted. Now there adding to them again

Our office is quite fair when it comes to lapsing.
We sometimes do it but only if we have time.The manager knows we all go off on one if its a busy day and he asks.
They can ask but we are in our rights to refuse if it means going without a break or finishing late.
Usually its a case of go out for 20 mins,come back and have break,go out on own walk when missorts come.
If its gone 9 when i've tied up=no chance i'm doing it.
