Not being paid for election leaflets?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

4) Payments

All existing local payments covering the delivery of election material as stated in paragraph 2 above will remain in place, and in accordance with this agreement, with the following exceptions.
1. The minimum payment for delivering election material will be 3p per item.
2. The maximum payment for delivering election material will be 6.6p per item.

We have our own aggreement in our office based on hours not price per item. Is this agreement still ours to use or does this national thing outdate ours?

We would have to read your agreement and see what it said to answer that one

As far as i'm aware the G (Glasgow) postcode is once again getting 6p per item.
With 600 odd calls and possibly 18 leaflets, it's going to be a nightmare to deliver, but for once the money should be ok.

When I got briefed was told did not know when they were coming or how mich we would get. Great briefing that was.

Questioned our Dom on the poll cards this morning .. he claimed we would receive no extra payment for delivery as they were 2nd class .. i queried it and showed him Bob Gibson's letter .. he disappeared to find out more information .. came back later in the morning to say that yes, we would get paid ... result

My God, it never ceases to amaze me what DOMs try to get up to (you can be guaranteed that the money would have been allocated to his office budget).

A few of us heard a rumour from the last election that Belfast posties were getting near 10p an item is there any truth to this? and if so why?

If it's true then I'd want the same and I'm sure everyone else would want it too (I can never understand why different offices get different payments).

I think if someone has any problem delivering items because of their politics then that should include the slime bags at Labour.

Anyone can join the Labour Party. The BNP measure your nose first. That makes their politics very different from just about every other party. So f**k 'em. If they try and force me to take out BNP material then it'll be going on a bonfire in the garden!

I won't be delivering BNP leaflets. If these bastard wannabe Stuka pilots want to stand in elections, let them deliver their own stuff.

We had polling cards last week but when our Rep enquired about payment and the agreement with CWU,he was told they didn't qualify as they werent Polling cards! After he finished laughing,he pointed out that what did the phrase "Official Poll Card" mean then? He then got told that no one in the Midlands area was being paid for them so why should we! When he also told her that it was 3p per item not per delivery point and if she was wrong and had to pay how was it going to be worked out as they had now been delivered-she nearly had a seizure! Anyway,Rep has now flagged it up as far as Bob Gibson.Problem is,if they continue to ignore this agreement and every other agreement we seem to make what can we do? Most in our office haven't got a clue what is going on and each town division does things differently to the next,all in the same City,so some parts of the office start at a different time to others,some are absorbing,some are flexing,its a total mess!

Is there some guide/framework in place for how the payment per item is calculated. We've been told in advance of anything arriving that all items are will be 3p. Surely there is official figures for size/weight etc.

I've already seen that, it doesn't answer my question, (or if it does it's in some kind of code!). What is it that defines a cost of 3p as opposed to 6.6p or anything in between, usually size and weight define this kind of thing, if so what are they.
Do you really think that I am supposed to accept 3p without questioning it especially now that the majority of my DO have already posted all of the polling cards, it now appears for free!

25g so we get 6p yours Walter

We need national agreements on things like this. The payments should be the same for everyone not diffrent ammounts in each area. One of the big things the CWU is worried about is regional pay, surely that is what this is?

can the consience clause be used in the same way to avoid delivering labour / conservative material ??
as i find the views of these parties very offensive
