Oh Oh. The 2010 agreement is quite clear on Saturdays unfortunately:
The new workplan standardises service delivery times Monday to Saturday

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.

Dennis Rommedahl?

What a donkey he was.

In more favourable 'news', I continue to hold a season ticket at my beloveds, and shall place them ahead of any potential future at Royal Mail should I ever be asked/forced to choose between the two.

When we get let out of the office early on a Saturday , you can hear all the lasses shouting out " is there an important football match today by any chance " . I think it's just coincidence but it might be worth lobbying the FA and the Football league for midweek afternoon Kick offs .

i know of an office (who have had their revision) was asked last week if they wanted to come in earlier on saturday because of the early kick off (utd v city). so they came in at 5 and finished at 12 rather than 3. if they can do this once why not every saturday?

we have had this a few times since later starts were blamed on the 56mph HGV speed limit.

amazingly the old way of working still works if it suits management!

my guess is the more the workforce is messed around the more will leave of their own accord, more 12 week rolling contracts in and a much better prospect to any potential buyer.

If Royal Mail Change start and finish time and no one want it, we should all refuse to co-operate together and then Royal Mail will have to change back.

Why the need for later start ? no one want it.
