London posties streets paved with gold

[leejohn]

first off, this isnt an insult but how lucky are london posties??? ive heard RUMOURS that the rounds are still 2hrsish delivery no lapsing and job and finish!!!!!!!!!!1 surely not???
my manager said to me by striking all your doin is helping london, crap i know but how does london do it!!!

Of ffs,then your manager is right yes!!

2hr delivery!! even before the last round of cuts my place were 3hrs plus
My area,they are roughly the same.

Come on rowdogg,you've been on the site long enough.

No ones really denying it are they? I work at kingston and we've just employed a guy who came from up town (london) and couldnt believe what our walks were like (3.30hrs and lapsing duties) when he said most where he was was done in 1.5rs!!!! from the horses mouth....

i don't think it was from the horses mouth, it's probably the opposite end of the horse you are thinking of

Oh ffs i told our boys to keep sthum when they go out of the smoke
1.5hrs!! must of been a bit of backlog in that as well. Possible spanish practice there also cause i would of claimed a couple of hours on top.

In order to be impartial in how to vote, though I can't imagine anyone who hasn't voted yet, lets not look at what others may or may not be doing but instead look at our own circumstances and ask - is this the way to modernise and improve the service, pay and conditions - if your answer is Yes then vote NO but if the answer is NO then vote YES.

Thats correct,there are lots of offices in London that introduced new duty structures as per pay and mod agreement,these included 9 day fortnights,wallington weeks(work 6 days a week then have a week off at the end of the 5th week i think)and 4 day weeks,which my office was one.
Management dont like these duty structures and have now used Executive action and put us back to a 5 day week on the same duty structure,with 8 people without a duty.And by the way our walks are 3-3.5 hours with massive prep,heres my frame.

That looks a fair size Is it single or double slotted?

PS: In our WTLL today we were told taking pictures or video inside RM premises is now banned - I wonder why

A bit of both mate,like i said ive only 400 delivery points but most are houses converted in to 3 flats.
I take out a HCT and have 4 11kg bags bought out from weds onwards,how about those redrections,the most ive ever had was 85.It takes me just as long to prep and tie up then it does to deliver.

I like that a "Sticking point" for actually doing something that was in the Pay and Mod agreement

Here its is from the LTB announcing the deal

PAY AND MODERNISATION AGREEMENT

NEW WAYS OF WORKING/FLEXIBILITY


Royal Mail has committed to introduce innovative duty pattern. This is an opportunity for the Union to develop 4 day weeks and 9 day fortnights etc.

and the actual agreement itself

Innovative Duty Structures: Units will take the opportunity to review existing duty structures and identify innovative approaches to meet the above objectives.

Well done - that was a test and you passed with flying colours - I had to read it twice myself this time, although it is correct, it does sound a bit Irish.
