Stop extending everyone.
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
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
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
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

Re: Stop extending everyone.
I did'nt leave the office till 11, was asked if I was staying out or cutting off, I don't stay out
took 2 bags back and about a dozen parcels.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

I know how you feel kwf166 i feel the same, there seems to be many idiots wearing the postie uniform who are in for one mighty shock, only we are all going there too.
They just won't change until it's too late.

Re: Stop extending everyone.
I am prepared to work over when it suits me sometimes today included (30mins ish) but generally I cut off on a regular basis anyway so it no diff for me i just leave more.
Royal Mail won't break me, though its been fairly close recently!

Re: Stop extending everyone.
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

Re: Stop extending everyone.
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..!!??
