More carrots for the sad donkeys that do not look beyond the first two pages!.
I think you're right. Most people in my office keep saying park and loop won't happen for a good 18 months yet, even though managers are already planning the walks. But I bet if there is a £1000 carrot linked to completing a park and loop revision...it will be in quicker than you can say....2 men and a con...erm..I mean van.
I hope when the PEC and everyone else gets to read the agreement that they have a dictionary/thesaurus on hand, just incase there are words like flexibility/lapsing/absorbtion/modernisation and they can look up the definitions this time!!
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
We've been told that our office has 36 vans on order and park and loop will start in September.
My line manager went to a meeting yesterday to be briefed on it.

by definition you believe that they understand word to the wise as TBT wrote in another thread if they dont do it on a daily basis how would they know what impact it has on you watch this space

Hope this helps....
WORD... DEFINITION flexibility... 8hrs work in 5hr contracts lapsing... 200hrs of labour per week for 300hrs work per week - every week absorbtion... 100hrs of labour per week for 400hrs work per week ( if it didn't work first time doesn't mean it was a crap idea, does it? ) modernisation... privatisation ( aka, the bosses and shareholders get the gold mine, the workers, the public and the taxpayer get the shaft ).
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?
Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

It's spanned out into the other threads.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
with what you have said in the past Linkenpark and your passion i have always thought you were dwane, but saying you are just a OPG i guess not, anyway... i thankyou for putting great views accross from someone in the Portsmouth area.
Link,if you have more questions start another thread.

We already DO work those hours. In our office HCTs finish at 14.15 and the shared vans 14.30. Either way, the day has gone by the time you finish.
The union screwed up big time years ago. They should have ended Saturdays when we went to 5 day working. Adding the Saturday hours to the week day attendance. Yet another opportunity missed for a better work/life balance.
