39 hour week

[belle smith]

This is a scam.
Same weekly workload - 1 hr less to do it in.
Or increased weekly workload (8d2d) - 1hr less to do it in.

a gimmick maybe, there is precious little in this agreement which is to our benift, i think this is, if only margenally.
It's not a paper exersise or a scam it is a SHORTER WORKING WEEK!
The logic behind it is to limit the number of redundancies!

A 39 hour week... PMSL - Basically that 39 hour week will be a 40 hour week crammed into 39 hours, TRUST ME..! Royal Mail will have us workin harder and screwing us so we think we're saving an hour.

Judging from the agreement, and experience of RM since the 2007 deal, they will be doing that irrespective of a shorter working week.

Maybe my earlier post could be usefull to MC staff.

It is, because when the conditions you list are met, we get a 2% extra on our basic.

I'm a bit concerned that it is just a way to rewrite your contract.
Everybody's contract will be rewritten to change it to 39 hours if this deal is voted in an you don't have the right to stop it (nor are you likely to see it). Whatever rights you have in that contract that RM don't like may disappear and you'll be non the wiser. After all, that contract is one of the few hard documents that RM can't dispute.

[HeyYouGuys]

A 39-hour week is better than a 0-hour week.

Still, it depends what issues you are involved with which will decide how you vote.

BTW, the smilies need to be updated with the new boss.

I've never seen or heard of a "hard document" contract of employment in RM yet.
