How your office chooses to deal with that is a discussion your rep should be having with your manager at the weekly resource meeting.
And the guideline is a minimum of 16% per day over 6 days...not 20% over 5.
As far as room in your bags goes....make more bags.
We no longer have a Union Rep, the last one who was useless (in with gaffers) has quit and no one wants the job.
same at our office

if its my day off on monday (for whatever reason) under no circumstances would i take mondays D2Ds on another day.
Even a reasonable instruction to follow the agreement ? :crazy:

no, we have had this in our office with floaters not delivering them, i refused to take them as the floater should have done them.

happened on a few occasions but i point blank refuse.

there were boxes of them strewn under my fitting recently when i had been on annual leave, i stuck the lot of them outside managers door.
Some cheeky sod ripped the label off theirs and out the box in my slot this week. Needless to say I took it straight to my lino and said it's not mine only to be told that was the second one this morning.

At Royal Wedding week we will have 4 days to do doors to doors. Knowing the company we probably have 6 lots in that week.

Simple enough, on the royal Wedding week you'll have to take a minimum of 25% per day, (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday). If you have agreed to not do Saturdays then I hope you enjoy delivering your minimum 33% per day!

Sorry lads and lasses, the following paragraph is part of the agreement that was voted for by the majority of members(sic)

How should I manage my D2D delivery?
• You will receive your D2D mail by start of duty each Monday.
• Prep at least 1/6th into the frame each day starting from Monday and deliver it (Note: this will be at least 1/5th on Bank Holiday weeks).

We have been told that Lapsing "Absorbtion" may/will be cancelled during Bank Holiday weeks to help get door 2 doors done.
