[quote]Staff at Runcorn Royal Mail delivery office in Cheshire have voted not to work on Good Friday.
Until 2001 normal delivery patterns were followed all over the country with staff being offered the option of time and a half with a day in lieu, or double time and a half for working Good Friday.
Good Friday deliveries were scrapped in order to save money with offices being manned by a skeleton staff, sorting mail for the next day’s delivery.
CWU members at Runcorn took the decision that this was not good enough and that it should be a case of “all in or none inâ€

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

agree with you tommymac.if anybody doesnt want to work it for religous reasons it should be reasonable to accomadate them.
i have for the first time got easter saturday off ,so im going out to try a few stellas on good friday night
We don't work Good Friday in our office. What would make more sense for delivery staff, would be to work the Friday and have the Saturday off.
