My Cheque from RM has just cleared.

How long have 1hr contracts been around? Part time contracts are fine with a view to getting f/t hours but this is ridiculous, if RM only asked them to do their contracted hours how many would survive on 1hrs pay a week. I didnt know anyone on these types of contracts...

This comment was made by my DOM to me this morning " a couple of weeks ago we all had e-mails saying that one hour contracts had to go", so looks as if RM are taking notice of this decision.

Do you know anymore?
I have written for the reasoning behind my judgement to the ET and my letter has been acknowledged about just over a week ago, as soon as I get it, I will post it on here.
Has there been any reaction from the CWU either locally or nationally, bearing in mind that they seemed ignorant or wanted to duck the issue of one hour contracts whilst I was a postie?

I only know of one young lad thats been promised a 5 hour contract in place of a one hour one, as for the CWU, they dont care cos lets be honest how many people with one hour contracts are likely to be union memebers.

Yes, and this is the most worrying thing. Because the Unions have allowed this, they must be seeing a huge reduction in the rank and file.Are billy and his band of men trying to destroy the union?
