Whilst London go out on strike (good luck) RM seem to be pushing ahead with modernisation in the rest of the country, this week alone has seen the introduction of one missort run at about 8:30/9 and a 'tick' system whereby all full timers have to achieve 12 ticks between now and the end of the year. As told to us today in WTLL, to gain a tick you have to deliver a row of whichever walk is being absorbed, or you can come in on your day off and do your whole duty for free t gain 4 ticks at once :left: The union rep in our office has been instructed not to talk to RM by the union so is just sitting back whilst these changes are forced in.

What a load of rubbish!

If your office is anything like ours and a few others I`ve had the misfortune to be at they can`t even keep upto date with the holiday situation or peoples days off never mind playing Playschool with their daft `ticks` system. :roll:

:crazy: Now--is this an elective thing---can we now refuse to take out the extra and just do our own walk instead, and if so, who will cover the lapsed duties. :so there somethings smelling here.

FFS, just do the job properly and you'll never have to do any extra because you've worked all your hours, they can just tick off into the middle of the night :roll:

our office in scotland is up the pole with us doing no overtime if they tried this here they would be laughed at.

So what will happen to the full timers who don't get the 12 ticks by the end of the year?
Are they sent to the headmaster for 6 of the best? Do they get a gold star, or not allowed to play on sports day?
Please tell.

this is the same as what is happening at an office in the TW district, west london, whereby you do a whole walk on your day off for f^ck all, or take 25% out on your usual delivery!................madness!
