held meeting inoffice this morning laid out d2d brief from union again what a waste of time got back off duty 1/2 hour before finish time most had gone home and some had put d2d in their frame!!!!! it would seem the staff want the put time for d2ds and the extra delivery time but also want to finish early !!! one 20 year man said he would not put d2ds into frame 1/6 aday
and he will not delivery 1/6 aday either and f--k the agreement as the dom says she does not care hows its done as long as its done and then announced summer savings and the poeple who have put their d2ds in frame already its not fair that their got more to do and their are the opgs who finish early every day i give up !!!!!!!

Don't worry, I'll go there: NO-ONE gets paid ANY extra money for delivering D2Ds. That payment has been removed, permenantly. Instead Delivery Posties are paid a suppliment for being on DELIVERIES. In just the same way that people are paid suppliments for driving HGVs, FLTs, etc.. It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with how many D2Ds you deliver. And never will again!

Having said that: I think it's disgusting that the suppliment you get is based on your CONTRACTED HOURS. Despite the fact that many Part Timers work full time hourts, through overtime. IMHO it's an unfair and discriminatory way to work out suppliments, considering the actual working patterns of Part Time workers! :evil/mad

Strangely, after several years of a reliable three a week, since the changeover I have had 3/0/1/2, and our whole office, which is usually very heavy on DTD seems to be getting very little.
One of my mates who lives in a different postcode area recieved a set of 8 in a plastic film wrapper with his post last week - while they were all from different advertisers they had all been designed to the same size/weight standard to fit the wrap. If that is the plan, it looks okay.

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.
