section ten on the new contracts of employment

[Straight4ward]

keithposty, this is the infamous clause 10 that your DOM is refering to;

Royal Mail
Statement of Terms & Conditions of Employment
Standard Contract for Postpersons (OPG Grade)

10. Royal Mail has the responsibility of providing a public service. This puts a special obligation on all employees to play their part in maintaining the kind of service which the public has a right to expect. The nature of the service makes a measure of overtime working necessary which will be on a voluntary basis, wherever possible. For this reason, it is a condition of your employment that you are liable to work overtime and attend at varying times on any day (including weekends, Bank and Public Holidays) as the needs of the service demand. Overtime pay will be assessed in accordance with Royal Mail’s Pay Compendium (which forms part of Royal Mail’s People Management Framework, which you can gain access to by contacting your Manager).

yep, thats the one

what i can tell you is that it was brought up today with our weekly planning meeting with the DSM

THE DOM DID THE BIGGEST CLIMB DOWN IN HISTORY.

he stated that the staff misread the signs and that he was taken out of context

so thats the nail in that coffin

the point of this thread is to warn other offices not to be bullied and put up with this crap

need i say more
