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.

This is why I would vote yes! Idiots who still use cars on delivery. Will be the same 1s who don't take a break and come in early.

Would -I hope that just an incorrect use of words because I firmly believe that whichever camp your own everyone should vote. If you don't vote then why join a Union one of the reasons for a Union is for your voices to be heard.

If you are not in the Union then using the would vote statement why not join you could change it then. :Very Happy

A member in my unit asked me the other day " have you seen anything good in the agreement", "yes" I replied "cars will be banned when delivery methods are introduced".
Anyone who still wants to use their cars must be living in a different world than everyone else. A lot of this situation could have been avoided if only delivery staff had been doing the job properly.

You better quantify that post.A hell of a lot of delivery staff are doing the job properly,it's just we are the ones getting the s**t for not completing in time/cutting off.

It is still one less thing for your run-around driver to do.If they have spent 1.2 billion on modernisation,and we have an opportunity,(very rare), to make sure they spend it properly.This money includes vans/trolleys.
If we have this stuff and don't use it,they will be knocking on the door again for savings.

To be fair, some car users feel presurised into it, and will be relieved when they have an alternative. Yes, I know it's not their problem to supply bag drops, conveyancing etc, but some simply don't want an hour bus journey at the end of their walk.

The sooner changes come the better, but tehy have to be the right changes, done in the right way, with a fair wage. NOT the 'agreement' way.

Vote NO.

But surely these same people will not have an argument about using their own cars cos we will be van sharing unless you are within 1 mile of DO and then you will use a trolley!!!
So any argument about returning to the office is bollocks cos you will have a lift and if you use a trolley then you are dropped off at the furthest point from office and work your way back...how simple is that, why use your own car,petrol,get your employer to pay :sad:
Now is the right time to wipe the slate, do the job correctly and then we will see just how many hours need put back into offices, people will only fly about and come in early cos they think they can still finish early, sorry guys but you will only end up with more work...

Exactly. Like I said, some will be relieved when CDV's or whatever come in, as they won't be left stranded miles from their office. They'll be happy to leave thier cars in the office car park.

Whether we agree with the agreement or not.Any wage rise would be wasted on petrol and wear and tear of your private vehicle. If you look at the state of a Royal Mail van,(interior especially),that tells you everything.
