Sounds like the driving duties are ring fenced,which means those who get driving allowance or are already driving get 1st pick.

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.

I'm guessing each office do things differently,for instance at my place there were 4 drives plus 2 rest day covers,there was only 6 drivers anyway so it just went on seniority.

If say though there was 8 drivers,6 on allowance and 2 not,then the 6 on allowance would of got 1st choice.

We're having a revision right now, and with it we are having a resign throughout the whole office. Are the driving shifts protected from delivery postmen who are senior to them? i know a senior driver can take a duty off a postman during the resign, so can a delivery postman who is senior to a driver, take a driving shift at resign???

cheers.

driving allowance for cdv vans is 6 quid. if you have some 3.5 tonners [not many left now] the allowance is £28 per week. personly i think it would be fairer to do the re sign totally on seniority. mtsf for £6? bit dodgy me thinks

I would doubt that you could use MTSF for the normal £6 reserved rights driving allowance although it's not the clearest of documents.
There would be nothing in it for Royal Mail because there is no driving allowance now so it's not as if they would have to pay twice....which is usually their reasoning.
