One thing that has crossed my mind about the 75/25 split - is that across the entire office workforce ( including RLE, Bookroom, MT room, early shift, late shift, etc ) or is it just across those with an outside element? I ask 'cos the only PT duties we have are in the morning on deliveries, and if some of them ( including me - 1st PT in my DO ) aren't made up to FT, then it will make no difference to the squeeze on IPS in our office :hmmmm :hmmmm
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

TY for that, Mr General Secretary - but could you answer the question I asked above? Congratulations for mastering the art of responding without giving an answer, Mandelson, Crozier, Tolson & Hayes would be proud :cfo :mfo

If the union/royalmail had agreed to a 35 hour working those hours would have to be made up and part time staff would be the obvious source to gain extra hours/pay!. Since it is not in the agreement it seams highly unlikely!.

Even full time would for they and you and us all will be worked over like never before if this agreement sees the light of day!. Do not forget full time staff have more to lose as this employer is hell bent on getting rid of all full time staff and don't think it will play into your hands if they do for it will not they have plans to make part time less than 16 hours a week!. WHY YOU MAY WELL ASK BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO A TRIBUNAL NOR GET ANY HOLIDAY PAY LEAVE IN ESSENCE YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS!.

El, you and I are P/T

We get paid extra now to prep and deliver D2D

In the new agreement, D2D is becoming part of the workload in order to help save F/T jobs.

That means when we come in, our frame should be prepped with all the normal workload (to include D2D) for us.

Granted occasionally a tray or two hasnt been done etc.

I dont think this has yet been picked up by posters and readers on this site yet.
