don't think so! Currently I have about an hours work on the office getting ready then 15minsto delivery, 30 mins break and then 15 mins back that leaves 3 hours to deliver the same 3 hrs work I do now I can't go quicker or do more it's physically impossible. So if they way more better get there arse in gear and has it bagged up for me when I start.
Life's only rosey if you make it that way...... There is life outside of Royal Mail you know!

Only 3 hours work :shock: you need to get some more onto your delivery, another 3 hours should do it and you should be grateful that you have a job at all :wink:

Good point,but I feel their should be some official recognition of our repetive work strain ,and I am 1 who is suffering ,and seriously worried about longer deliveries,I can barley cope now as do many of my mates.I dont know the answers that why I thought we had a independent Union who cared for our welfare.But recent events .I now realise the CWU nationaly is just a another part of RM.

I never said that's all they try to give me I cut off most days usually levaing upto two hrs a day worth of delivery though this last week was quiet and not needed to cut off once. So any more work just means more to cut off.

you will no doubt be called a lazy bastard and that if you dont like the job then you can go, or as i got told by a sector manager when i was on light duties with a frozen shoulder "i know what you can do, if you don't want to work then we'll see what happens"

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

When I first read that I was wondering when they started giving out payments for poorly planned sex games then I worked out that you mean delivering mail :d'oh!
