One guy in my office is P/T and has been doing a Full time driving duty for 2 years, manager says No Full time contracts are being handed out.
He's still paid P/T holidays and xmas bonus.

Shafted or what!!

Wasn't consulted, asked, talked to etc.

In our DO about half a dozen or so were made up to FT last summer but was based on seniority and was 9 till 5 so you did your normal walk and then did packets in the afternoon.

Think there should be lawsuit against Royal Mail for this 25 hours contract and full time work and get paid 25 hours for bonus, sick or holiday pay. Have there be any attempt to do this.

RM obviously think it's kosher ( I believe it was part of an agreement that came in before I started at RM 3.5 years ago ) and the Union think they wouldn't have much hope of winning, so give up without trying :cuppa
