Stop extending everyone.

Post by kwf166 »

In my office today, nearly everyone, were extending today,to clear the backlog from saturday, apart from me, what the point of having a strike, when they are working their backsides to clear the mail, it sort of defeat the object, I also saw one of my colleagues, riding back at around 4:30, I thought is she completely mad :roll: if everyone didn't extend today, the managers would of had a real problem on their hands, I really don't know why we don't just work to our contract hours, but instead these silly fools are playing into royal mail management hands, and they were looking at me as if I was daft, they were saying what you talking about, of course I am going to extend,you have to :arrrghhh but some of the managers were telling some staff, that they cannot do overtime after a strike, which I think is correct, but some others were saying they can extend,so what going on, who is right :confused

Seriously guys if we really want to make a stand, than we got to do our job properly,otherwise these one day strikes are going to be a waste of time :sad:

Not only is it dangerous (mail security is supposed to be paramount, yet RM let people deliver in the dark :so there ) i'd also be downright embarrassed to be delivering at that time.

Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I dont get this but how come some offices are allowed O/T and otheres are not.

I thought it went rite across the board that after a strike no O/T simples as R/M dont want you raking back the money you have lost through striking .It doesnt make sense but then again desperate times calls for desperate measures i suppose.

Loads of people in our office booking O/T crazy but the bright side the office is heaving full of mail.

Roll on friday.

P.S i dont book O/T

No-one was to claim o/t today on delivery....so what we didn't get through was left....! Yet, members were booked in for this afternoon for IPS,the same members who voted for strike action,the same members who stood on the picket-line and the same members who are pretty vocal at local members' meetings..!! They are doing everything to support the national position(which I cannot fault them for)....then help clear backlog on o/t.....I don't understand..!!?? :hmmmm
