We had a manager read the same thing out, and someone shouted 'why don't you read out the letter you got from your Union' - which apparently agrees with the CWU. He declined to answer :chuckle

Saturday, not bad for packets but otherwise heavy. Strangely the Dom asked for volunteers to go to the mail centre on Sunday, even though the mail volumes are falling. :roll:

It has been an interesting week just gone. For the first time ever I was under my hours everyday so by finish Friday was just over 2 hours owed. Had nothing to lose on sat so came in early preped my duty got out earlier than I would normally, finished early but ended up bang on my contracted hours for week. My DOM must be have been well pissed as I think he was expecting me to show well under for whole week so a trip to the office would have been arranged.
Royal Mail won't break me, though its been fairly close recently!
