Re: star times
The words are the words......As part of the operational transformation the vast majority of full time delivery duties will start no later than 0700
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: star times
one of our new park and loop duties starts on a Saturday at 8.05.
The lads came in on their time, prepped in their door to doors first, new orders from DOM see, about half a box of sequenced each, then at 8.50 took their break as advised by the DOM.
After break DOM orders all to tie up and get out on delivery, he wants us all out by ten.
So this late starting pair still have two boxes of sequenced, all IPS, all flats, and all packets unprepped and so undelivered.
this revision is a complete joke.

Re: star times
No, cos there's all the s**t they brought back the day before, and unprepped stuff from the previous days that other managers and docket-seekers
are getting prepped in on everyones behalf.

Re: star times
Because most if not all reps at and above Divisional Level have not worked under the present methods. I would say 90% of them last did a delivery late 80s early 90s and 95% have not done a duty since before SDD. Hence my constant refrain that I believe all reps of all levels should spend at least sometime in the year doing a delivery duty and a Mail centre duty as well. For those that represent other functions then they should also experience that work as well. Theory and being informed what its like by those doing the work, is all well and good, but it will never replace the experience of actually doing it yourself.mailmonkey wrote:Why did the CWU/ACAS etc not see all this grey in the agreement, we all saw it ffs and we're just postieshubbahubba wrote:The whole 2010 agreement is full of "grey area's",you think RM did that by mistake...?![]()

A lot depends on when you get your walk sequencing mail.Managers seem to be plucking start times out of the air,your lot need to closely look into this.penlanpostie wrote:thanks for the info guys obviously the grey areas are there to be explioted by the managent and we are screwed

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.

How can you have 3 weeks sick? You will need a doctors note for more than 7 days sick!

Re: star times
all that weight we carry,bad backs are always a problem,just get a note on the seventh day,tell doc you always carry heavy objects,and he will give you a 10 day note,phone your office and tell them you have a 10 days doc's note,if they phone before 10 days up ,tell them not to harass you.have the other 4 days off,if they ask for another note to cover those 4 days,tell them not to harass you,they will leave you alone,as long as you put your back trouble in the accident book,you are untouchable.go for it.what have you got to lose! a shite job.go on go for it,nice weather coming up soon,get your tan going early this year.hulcottflyer66 wrote:How can you have 3 weeks sick?

Re: star times
Yep,when you're paying people 70-100,000 pounds to negotiate on your behalf,i think your'e entitled to think they're more intelligent than the average postie,but sadly i just don't see it with Billy and Dave!mailmonkey wrote:Why did the CWU/ACAS etc not see all this grey in the agreement, we all saw it ffs and we're just postieshubbahubba wrote:The whole 2010 agreement is full of "grey area's",you think RM did that by mistake...?![]()
