If they won't pay you overtime and you don't want to work over - yes work to the rules.

Don't tell them you are "cutting off" just say you can't complete the round in your normal working time and you can't/don't want to work over. However it may be quite quiet as the MCs/SOs will be out as well so only Fridays stuff may be waiting for you. Monday will be a killer though.

In short YES

as for it being quiet on Saturday don't forget that all the mail proccessed thurs afternoon and night that didn't go on friday will still be there waiting (unless you really believe the screws are gonna do it :crazy: ) and add to that the mail that will be pushed thru the mec machines from 3am saturday, I think it could be a lumpy old day.

So just follow that 318, obey all health and safety rules and work to your time. . . . . easy. :Very Happy

We have been told the following -

Saturday - Put everything in your frame and take the 1st 3 rows
Monday - Put everything in your frames and take the top 3 rows
Tuesday - Take everything

This way it all gets cleared and no docket is paid out. Not sue if this is national

MDEC, THIS IS WHERE WE LOSE THE DISPUTE. AS A REP, I WOULD IMPLORE EVERY CWU MEMBER TO WORK TO 318 SATURDAY, MONDAY. AS I POSTED ON ANOTHER LINK, IN DELIVERY RM OPERATES A CLEAR OFFICE POLICY. IF IT'S PREPPED INTO YOUR FRAME BY THE SCREWS ON THE FRIDAY, REFUSE TO TAKE IT. IF THEY TRY TO DO YOU FOR WILFUL DELAY, ASK THE DOM WHICH SCREW PREPPED IN AND DELIVERED HALF OF THE DUTY. FIND OUT THEIR NAME AND DO THE BASTARD FOR WILFUL DELAY TOO.
I KNOW OF AN OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM WHERE POSTIES HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE MAIL AFTER INCLEMENT WEATHER THE DAY BEFORE. A FEW LADS COULDN'T GET TO WORK COS OF SNOW, NEXT DAY THEY WENT IN AND THEIR FRAME WAS FULL OF MAIL. THEY TOLD THE DOM TO F**K OFF WHEN HE TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO DELIVER IT. IT GOT CLEARED ON DOCKET.

One of our Line managers said he couldn't wait for us to go on strike as he would get a load of o/t. I told him as a manager he would be lucky to get a day in lieu he just walked off without saying a thing.

United we stand and win
