75%/25%

Post by bwfcmaddog »

the dom at my office keeps telling me that the part of the agreement that we have 75% full time and 25% part time has been scrapped the reason i ask is we have almost a 50/50 split and when i ask for a 75%/25% split he doesnt want to discuss it

You have your answer now.

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.

Ok moving on from me 'trying' to be funny,your DOM is lying!
But it's a national split not per office,although the more offices that get the 75/25 (As the NE region is trying to do)the better as it will then mirror the national figure.

I take it it's the CWU who are meant to be monitoring the percentages? Like the idea of what they're doing in the NE Region. :Applause

The NE will not get a 75/25 split Because other areas have a much higher split.
In my opinion 60/40 will be as good as it gets if that for most.

Before the agreement we had a 78% split (I think) so there actually has to be a reduction in full timers.

We've not had any part timers made up for the last 7 years. With the mess the place is in nowadays i cant see any part timer ever being made full time. Best most can hope for is the odd hours docket here and there or working days off.

That would be a significant improvement for my office.

Just refuse to go over your contracted hours and see what they say then.

Royal Mail is corrupt to the core - since working for this set up, nothing i hear/read amazes me anymore.

I was talking to one of the gaffers today, been serving as a line manager for the best part of 2 years, started on a 20 hour contract 5 years ago, but when he's on annual leave he get's paid his 20hr contract...... 2 years working 40hr as a line manager - but only receives the contracted hours? thats a f***ing liberty.

I can't imagine how the old timers feel now (only done 4 years myself) - this job is just a blatant joke, ran by too many fucktards who dont have foresight to realise the mess it constantly create's

One a side note, those new Peugeot vans are rancid.

You wait until he gets his pension ... based on 20 hours per week.

Personally I refuse to do any overtime unless I add the 8% meal relief and 11% pension on top. Basically claim 1 hour 10 for every hour excess.
