No revision then you don't talk about anything let alone cuts.
This agreement is not about cuts anyway.Flag it up.
See this...
Local duty sets and numbers of jobs will emerge from the
application of our agreement and not predetermined by office budgets.

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.

I think we would all like an answer to this question. About time they got their arse's into gear.

I think I know what sparky is on about , a number of revsions were being planned for Wimbledon , West Wimbledon and Streatham were being planned on having an intrgrated revison but the walk seqeuncing machines due for Wimbledon and some of the other South London sites were switched to the New Hemel site and therefore there was a delay in some sites have the seqeucning machines therefore there was no point in introducing the revisions based on seqeuencing as they will not now be gettting them until the 23rd of May and will not be up and running till late June.

The national agreement provides for the revison process and in London , you are either due a walk sequencing/ methods / geo route revison or an IWT only revision. There is no other revison process and I would suggust if the manager is saying this you report it to your area reps who are very good.
