But I belive that more than 5 and they should all come up in one envelope but yet again I fear it's another part of the national agreement where the workers have to honour the deal yet royal mail dont :(

D2D increase has nothing to do with a revision. They were put into the workload as part of the 2010 agreement and was slowly increased from a maximum of 3 to now a maximum of 6. In fact i think you can maybe have more than 6 but doesnt matter as they are part of your workload so youll get the time to prep them and deliver them.......well that was the idea!!!!

Royal Mail don't care as long as they are screwing you over and making plenty money from D2Ds, given you get a set amount for full time and pro rata

Doesn't matter how many they send in, just do your hours and go home. :roll:

No it was just another part of the agreement that was so loosely worded that it meant nothing.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

DGP has said time and time again.

Do your hours and go home (after going through correct protocol).

Bring on 1000 a day! :nana


BTW, the D2D sleeves will never happen. No advertiser wants their junk together with other junk. You should NOT place D2D items together. Put them through the door separate. Takes longer as well.

several walks in our office regularly get 5 or 6, no-one has ever had more than 6 yet but they have never come bundled together and we have never been given more time to do them, just the 20 minutes on your frame as always before going on sorting.

And all the while no-one stands up and says anything you'll never get the extra time.

If everyone ONLY started prepping the d2d in their duty time and not in their own time and then, if they wanted to, cut off we would all be better off. Oh and I never understood why all staff including mail centre staff get the same payment that covers d2d ?

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.
