Re: Election Material.
6) Special Circumstances
It is jointly recognised that Royal Mail has a legal obligation to secure the delivery of
election material for all nominated candidates and parties.
Whilst it is expected that delivery will be made by the individual due to undertake the
particular delivery, local management will deal sensitively and sympathetically with
genuine requests to deviate from this arrangement.
Such cases may arise as a result of personal circumstances or beliefs or where an
individual believes that delivery of a particular item may incur personal risk.
If such instances arise alternative measures will be used to secure delivery. These may
include the use of volunteers from within the office or neighbouring offices to cover more
than one delivery or, as a last resort, the use of supplementary resource.
Both parties undertake to co-operate fully in the application of these principles and in
resolving any difficulties that may arise surrounding the delivery of election material.

Re: Election Material.
What about if I find it offensive to deliver ALL election crap because our office gets paid 3p per leaflet
and other offices get 4, 5 or even 6p per leaflet
Can I refuse on the grounds that other workers are getting double for the same work????

The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

I wish we could I get same rate as you. However, if it was a serious question the answer is NO because the reason you give is financial or operational. The clause only applies to H&S and personal beliefs (conscience in other words).

Re: Election Material.
If you don't want to deliver any election material - then don't.
You don't have to give a reason.

You don't have to deliver Labour Party leaflets, although I'd jump at the chance at 6p a go!!
