There will be no individual payment next year for polling cards along with the election literature for the individual candidates in your area. All we will receive is the £20.60 supplement that the union negotiated. Great deal eh?

Says who? The election agreement is separate to the D2D agreement.
Do you have a link to an LTB or something that confirms this or have you just heard it?

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.

My office never got paid for delivering poll cards even after I printed the aggrement off and showed it the rep, He said it was an old aggrement and to ignore it and anything else I read on this site. I still think we are due a payment for them but what more can i do? :arrrghhh
