Hmmm i've seen a doc that says the management want walks absorbed full time to save on indoor hrs because the IWT has thrown up savings!
By doing this indoor hrs will be saved.
Would that be right?

It's a local doc btw

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.

Do you mean absorb the outdoor to give longer delivery spans and less indoor time?
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Divisional Rep...???
Looking at it dispassionately I really cannot see the possibility of cutting any hours from the office. In order to get the members to accept any sort of cut they would have to come up with a very sneaky plan to split the office and achieve a yes vote. I can't see them managing that because they are thicker than pig s**t.
The ADR (though I respect him) isn't very popular with the troops. I can't see him swaying the vote.
Divisional rep? What is this strange creature of which you speak? My members have never seen one. I doubt any of them even believe in his existence.I think there is more chance of Nessie turning up at the DO.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

This is how it's done.
1) You leave the 5 most senior duties alone...this gets you their vote AND the next 5 because they will have one eye on the future.
2) You offer the 5 most senior reserves the chance of a duty...same as above next 5 bump up the list...job done.
3) You offer the 5 most senior part-timers full-time hours,temporary of course until the bedding in period is over...again you've probably bought the next 5 votes just for the chance to get closer to full-time.
4) The money.
5) The threat of unagreed change.
Result....split orifice. :chuckle

There already is one on the broadway DV but it's all the way down at 32.

It is a fair walk from 150 down to 32 though. :whistle

It's not my area so have no idea.

Now the nitty gritty,as in my place and no doubt other places as well IWT throws up whatever figures it throws up,so there is then savings thrown up.
So what's the next step?
At my place a 'counter offer' has been put in.

The figure they have given my place will kill the job on the heavy days 100% guaranteed.
And what if there is no vacancies for duties to then go part time?

EDIT:Glenno's just posted it up.

Looking forward to S4W's editing on that.....perhaps BILLYS rather than GREGGS
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Bloody hell ft, he doesn't walk there he takes the car............now he can say he's doing his bit for both the economy and the green party........someone mentioned that perhaps he could do more by not passing wind quite so much and I'm not sure which end they were talking about. :chuckle :chuckle
