NO! what is the rep doing about it?

Agreement not out yet,hold tight.
The agreement does talk about that DRIVING DUTIES WILL BE RESTRICTED TO EXISTING AND VOLUNTEER NEW DRIVING DUTIES AND NON DRIVING DUTIES WILL BE RESTRICTED TO NON -DRIVERS.

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.

Officially it stands for "Car Derived Van" ( probably from the same bod that invented "Powered Two Wheeler" to describe motorbikes & scooters in Govt statistics ), but I reckon you was right the second time :chuckle

you could always fail the DRA risk assement or not be able to find your licence. Or as in other units not be fit to drive because of certain perscription drugs , which may affect driving. I know of managers in rdc who take people of driving after googling their perscriptions because it may affect their driving.
