So when the DOM needs people in on Sunday o/t, does he now have to ensure he has enough drivers for the duties?
Would being a non-driver limit your overtime opportunities?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Shouldn't be doing the OT to help them, they have made this mess themselves and if we didn't do the OT to help them out they would HAVE to actually fix the problems.

tolkien wrote:its finally happened the doms got a crew in on sunday to try and catch up on all the mail that has been piling up , realising that the more he keeps us on the IPS in the morning ,the later we get out ,which equates to more cut offs ( you should see what came back today) .
they dont even attempt to deliver the daily cut offs now ,just leave them for the next day , and the next and the next untill all you are doing are the previous days cut offs but they still keep us in as late as they can so we get out late and so we can never catch up .

looking forward to monday though !! lets see if he gets us out with enough time to complete , or do the cut offs start early

so any one else going in sunday
this post should be taken to the top dogs in the royal mail & union to show them its not working! get rid of park & loop cz its worked nowhere yet! and its lies if they say it has cz those folks just use a pouch which is wrong! its trolleys we should all use to cover ourselves cz they love you when you taking all your walk but wait till your hurt yourself with a pouch on your back! it will be job centre time! :Very Happy

The docket grabbers are dropping like flys......normally they all jump at the chance of doing a bit of docket on Sundays. Apparently only 4 out of 150+ have put their names down for tomorrow :Very Happy
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
