If these changes are brought in then you have the right for industrial action, the new changes will serve no one, not even royal mail let alone the public and other businesses so if you all feel strongly about it consult your rep and if you want to fight against these studpid changes then i suggest you do so, quick! You won't be the only office as many more will come out over this stupid deal that the cwu made. Delivery staff should have had a seperate vote and if we had it would have been a different story

Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:We were shown the menu of options for 1 Sat in 4 and voted unaminously to stay as we are - the only bloke who wanted it was the rep, it was something like 40-1 against. Mainly becasue we were told that we wouldnt get the long weekend, just the sat. And that we`d have to do extra IPS / lapse 8 duties / prep extra 8 duties, and work longer hrs on the sats we ended up working (so 3 out of 4) - as there wasnt more funding available to cover these duties ,we had to cover them ourselves. The rep didnt have one thing to say as to why we should say yes, so we didnt !

That dosent sound right :hmmmm

Spoke to our area rep today, we dont have a rep at our office, he says as we are a satellite office we'll be on a 2.30 finish.

Told him some of the lads, myself included, needed family friendly, to which he looked at the gaffer and said that definitely needs to be included the pref exercise.

Errr how wrong can you be!

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.

Right the times you recieve your mail was out last week your rep or dom should have posted it up, its YOUR revision not your doms make it work for you not them, if your rep won't do it get onto the area rep, ive had a look at ours and its looking like a 2.30 finish not 3. Dont let them bully you.

As part of the operational transformation the vast majority of full time delivery duties will start no later than 0700.
They even have an example of a later than 0700 full-time start in their shiny booklet "new duty structures".
07:15 to 08:45 – Prepare and merge part-time worker’s delivery
08:45 to 09:00 – Swap frame fillets for second walk
09:00 to 10:35 – Prepare and merge own delivery
10:35 to 11:15 – Meal relief
11:15 to 11:30 – Travel to delivery start
11:30 to 15:00 – Delivery
15:00 to 15:15 – Return to office
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

And that appears to be before the WSMs - what price 7 a.m. when the later arrival of mail comes in? :hmmmm

Well I would contact your area rep or div rep - though in your case jimmy he may well be one and the same person, there seems to be a little confusion on that score - he seems to be well versed in how not to get back to you with any useful information - though it's only from an outsiders perspective. :wink:

WTF are you 2 on about???

I guess its because the office will not hold a WSM and will be fed by another office close by.
