Streamlining mail??

madelin4 · Post by **madelin4** » 03 Aug 2007, 13:54

2 day with 2 days mail, we at our office were told we cud streamline the mail, i.e . not take out m/s and 2nd, so therefore once its all preped in2 frame we look when pulling out and leave it. Now, 2day i done just that, was getting my first letter in at 9.30am, got last letter in at 12.45am, so by time i got back to office i was 25 mins over my time and only had 5 mins break as i had a special to get back for 1pm, no credit on my mobile. My prob is they expect you to streamline the whole duty and not go over your time? as they are not paying o/t. Is this just the start of us "Working for Free!!!! if everyone in office is 15 or 20 mins over it adds up and they are saving again!!Makes me mad.

They only streamline the overtime walks in our office,it was "cut off city"in our place today..i cut off for the first time in 5 years!! the sheer volume of mail tells us what we want to know but you should NEVER go over your time for free..if they aint payin the mails stayin...

Our lorry arrived 1.5 hrs late so

1 - We were told to sort the mail when it came in
2 - Then we were told that the mail would not have to be delivered
3 - Then we were told that we had to take out everything
4 - Then we were told that only the code sorted trays to be delivered
5 - Then we were told that if we were going to be over 30mins late then we could streamline the mail
6 - Then we were told that we had to sort mail for 15mins

I personally think that our DUM is going to explode if he gets any more stressed

You have a cutting off time, stick to that & you won't go over or only have five minutes break.

ours are keeping it artificialy lightish so as nobody goes over time but theres a definate tension there as they would really like to pile everything on and stuff us but are cautious as to how much they sort

That,s how they are playing it in my DO - really light today but we worked as per agreements and came of IPS when we should bundled up when we should etc. All you could hear on the floor was the sound of Managers biting their tongues. Class. Lightest Saturday in a while and made sure finished exactly on time

Same in my DO. Gaffers are terrified of cut-offs so very little mail and no mailsort to be seen. Only thing that was slightly heavy were packets. Also heard that gaffers are working in Edinburgh mail centre tomorrow, so expect a big Monday.

Heaviest Saturday for a while in my office I had to stream my mail but I wasn't told how to so I put most in then brought some back (I told my DUM before I went out that I would be bringing mail back) can't wait for another happy Monday

Post by **POSTMAN** » 05 Aug 2007, 23:51

On sat we were told to leave ALL the work we had previously left friday,which was mailsort and ppi 2's.
We were then told not to thrown in sat's mailsort but every thing else we had sorted,but somehow sat's ppi 2's ended up in fridays ppi2's

You with me on this!
Also bout 6 yorks and 6 koffins of other work went untouched,even mech bundles with dated stuff in

Easiest sat for years
