changes made before the new agreement is even voted on

[frogger]

A poster has been put up in our office saying that "as from the end of this month,as per the new agreement sunday night sorting in the local mail centre will cease".Do they know something we dont?(i,.e the result of the ballot already?)

[DirtyHarry]

Stinks, don't it?
Seems to me, we have good cause to mis-trust the whole ballot procedure.

Harry we've always known that RM are going to suit themselves whether it is yes or no - the only people who think there is going to be a new mutual respect and understanding are the people who negotiated this sorry ass of an agreement.

Our local mail centre stopped doing sunday nights a few months back.

[POSTMAN]

So how does that work,we still get work on Mondays don't we.When is that done?

[elm24]

As far as I am aware the mail centre finishes at 8pm on the sunday and our driver collects the mail after 12pm. Mail is then distributed to local DO'S. All our mail except sequenced is in office by 1am.

our mail centre has just stopped working a sunday night and had to have a full repick on the distibution side.
the mail that was transported on a sunday night to delivery offices is now being taken on a sunday afternoon so it is still in the delivery offices for monday morning.

There are agreed changes to sunday operations in MC's.

This is nationally agreed.

There is a LTB on the subject

If some of our boys know the mail is in at 1am they will be there to meet it.

That's true, dvbuk. I bet all those on our negotiating side are skint, you know the old saying about "a fool and his money", and God knows, we have more than our fair share of fools supposedly representing us.

Well I'd definitely go along with that H, but it's more a question of a fool and OUR money I'm afraid.
