Can a mail cente worker be asked to cover a walk???

Hmm "we're all in this together....". eh?

I HOPE THIS DOES HAPPEN. Then perhaps they will realise who is doing the most work, and as long as they dont mind taking a cut in wages for doing infact more work. A few months ago we had a MC worker turn up at our office and was so looking forward to becoming a delivery person as he was fed up of working indoors and asked for a transfer. HE LASTED 4 DAYS, then asked if he could get his old indoor job back! He went out on delivery at 9.30 and didnt get finished til nearly 4 oclock every day. He was totoally knackered and couldnt wait to get back to the mail centre! Fair play to him he did have the guts to say to us that he didnt realise how hard we had to work compared to his job and couldnt believe that so many of us of a similar age to him had been able to do the dealivery job for such a length of time. He said hed be dead by now. So all you indoor workers we look forward to seeing you out on the streets with us. BRING IT ON

wrong attitute m8 we all work for the same people thats why they try and use divide and conquer should be a deal that works for all parts of rm

i agree a proposal should have been put forward where ALL the workforce benefited but i now see that it is obvious that the union have fallen into the trap of RM creating a situation which they know will divide the workers in mailcentres and delivery. A very clever ploy and stupidly billy hayes and dave ward have fallen for it.!

I bet a lot of mail centre workers will looking forward to a nice cosy payoff when their mail centre "could be closed" but what happens if they are asked offered another job within rm ie delivery offices, do they fancy becoming donkeys. My hunch is no job, no reduncancy package.
An example could happen (probably will happen) when they close either Glasgow mail centre or Edinburgh mail centre.
People in the mail centres have to look at will they get a better deal now or are they better to reject the deal where they may have better prospects of a better deal in 3/4 years time.

Glasgow mail centre or Edinburgh mail centre closing...................never gonna happen. Common sense required here.

Well.....The rumour(for at least the last 15years ) was that they would close both and relocate to a central SUPER/MC right smack in the middle.
