1. Can someone tell me what 318 is ? I know it's got something to do with job & finish but apart from that no idea.
2. "ROYALMAILCHAT CAMPAIGN: GET ON THE VANS! START AT YOUR OFFICIAL TIME! WEIGH YOUR BAGS! TAKE YOUR BREAK! SAVE YOUR JOBS!!!"
What's this about get on the vans? ??

Cheers

Are you fishing? If so do one if not go speak to your Union rep he will sit down and explain everything to you.
Failing that speak to your Area Delivery Rep.

your 318 is your official duty description it breaks down your working day stating what you should be doing during your shift there should be a copy in your office unless the DUMs hidden it away

get on the vans means dont use your own private cars use royal mail vans/buses

therefore saving our jobs

hope that helps

any problems u need to speak to your rep
