Go to stage 1 disagreement then.

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.

Dont give in to these morons, use the IR Framework, go to disagreement at stage 1 and embarass them at stage 2 when you involve area rep & DSM :dance

I left Royal Mail in 2008 after 34 years in Do's and a Mail Centre. I've been a union rep, union officer and branch secretary. I've stood on picket lines, almost cried at the lack of support from those who shout the loudest, laughed with the bravest, attended conferences,... the lot. Once, for my sins...I was an acting manager (2 months and I'd had enough). We were having the same problem with managers (PE'Ds) back in 1974 as you are in 2010. Funny how nothing much changes. :wave

You obviously left too soon prg, there is now a new understanding, mutual respect and fully integrated CWU involvement at least that's what the gliterrati believe :chuckle

Your DOM is neither abiding by the spirit nor the letter of the agreement.

Refer him to D2D Managing Change - Managers Guide.

If he can't read (and I believe that there are some who can't) get his area manager involved.
