No you wouldn't because they would have had to be done when due. You used to get piles of them left at one time but not anymore, there is a weekly return done on D2Ds now and a strict regime to see that they ARE delivered.
My point was the value of the work now and after the agreement, if it goes through.
But your maths on this one is flawed, AnotherLimey.

How many hours will it take you, Tuesday - Friday, to deliver these 6 d2d's, IN YOUR OWN TIME ? :shock:

If you only take 2 hours each day doing them, that's 8 hours of unpaid overtime.

Yeah, you reckon you'll be £65 better off by doing them (in your OWN time) :crazy:

But if the agreement got voted in, you'd be paid to do them in your normal working hours, and they'd still take 8 hrs to deliver. But your hourly pay rate is what, £9/hr ? So, you'd be doing them as part of duty hours and being paid 8 x £9 = £72, plus you'd be getting the delivery supplement by then as well :hmmmm

Why do the union insist on saying we're getting a £20.63 pay supliment?? that sounds like we're getting an extra £20.63 a week but we're not. That £20.63 includes your £12 shift allowance making £8.63 so the pay supliment effectively is £8.63 This remaining £8.63 is you payment for delivering an uncapped amount of D2D I'm sure most people get more than that for delivering D2D now.

I think you've just answered your own question!
