Do what Bob Gibson say we can do when the new agreement is signed,just shove the agreement under the managers nose and he HAS to comply. :cuppa

Oh but hold on,that will only count from the 24th Apr,so at the moment,you're screwed. :left:

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.

these polling cards - do we get paid per house or per person? My line manager says it's per house (drop) plus 25%, while some of the chaps were insisting it was per person.
Its particularly relevent to me as I deliver to student accom where its not unusual to have 6/7 people to a house.

cheers

We had it it confirmed this morning that if election material has been prepaid then you dont get paid anything. Those that are getting paid is because the material hasn't been put through the system.

So yes you should be getting paid.

Hi pple
just a quick update,went in to moan at the dom again this morning and to tell him i would be taking things further,regarding this poll card situation,but before i had chance to say anything ,he said that he,d been told unoffically that we would be being paid and it was all down to some meeting between the union and royal mail management on friday.So hears hoping this is true and he aint just yanking my chain.

3p per card for us. We had to count the cards and claim. Nearly 1000 for me. As there's no record of how many cards each house got, just how many cards in total we delivered, it will be per card.

we havent got our polling cards yet in northern ireland, or any election material, however the 20% of us militants might win the payment for the other 80% cowards and S**bs combined who have never stopped getting money off our backs since the big 3 week strike

4.5p by house we're getting.Considering I do over 600 calls I expect to lose the bulk of it in tax!
