No where in the national agreement does it state that you have to start later, only that the hours need to aliegn to where the work is and most offices even with walk sequencing will have work from 0500.

dingo is very careful with his words isn't he.
They might have work from 0500 but enough to sustain a full office?.....i don't think so and certainly not in ours.
Staggered starts i'm afraid....that's what aligning the work with the hours means in a lot of cases POSTMAN. :sad:
But theses guys are not having revisions fish,there does not seem to be a WSM in sight,so wtf is going on?

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.

The mail after it is sorted normally for your office either has to be transported to a WSM site and then go through another machine 3 times then transported to you.
Or if the WSM is at your MC the same still applies but it obviousy does not have to go anywhere extra,but it also depends on where you are in the sorting order.

Crikey!!!!
Mail sorted for my office won't be transported straight to my office, but will be transported elsewhere, then the already sorted mail will have to go through a machine, not once, not twice, but three times, then, and only then, will we get to see this mail in my office. :crazy:

Talk about going all round the houses!!!! :evil/mad
