We had some today walk sorted,we pulled them out for later.They will be counted and we will be paid accordingly.

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.

We have had them coming in for the last two weeks, addressed mail, walk sorted and delivered to addresses that have already had them before. no mention of a payment, thought it was only election material that came as D2D that we got a payment for? not addressed items.

Where is the actual Agreement on either the CWU or RM sites, I've queried this with Mr Gibson as suggested, and await his response, but I'd like to direct my Local Rep to the Official Document first thing on Tuesday morning.

My Polling Card has just been put through my letterbox. I think the local council get their staff to deliver them.
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

The agreement is in the downloads section on this site.I've just printed off 20 copies to pass round tomorrow as our office has never been paid even close to the minimum payment.

Has anyone had experience of putting a grievance in over this.I was thinking along the lines of;

Grievance: Being consistently underpaid for delivering election material in breach of a national agreement.

Action required: Reimbursement for underpayment.

Also,if other offices are paid more than us ,for doing the exact same work ,I could surely argue that this is discrimatory and/or unfair.
