Local Election cards. A couple of questions.

Post by L8Hatter »

We are getting 3p a card. Just wondering how much other areas are getting?

Also, is the payment for prepping or delivering? If it's the former, then presumably those on 9.00 starts will be stuffed, as well as any you might deliver on lapsing or OT

It's a local agreement,I very much doubt your area have negotiated a lower amount than a last election,chances are the screws are having you on,best to double check with your area rep.
But remember polling cards and the leaflets are usually a different rate.

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.

Edited: We get 3p per card and you can get more than 1 polling card per house as they are addressed to individuals not the household. Which sometimes is good news on high density council estates.

To be fair grab it while you can,no doubt it will be gone in a few years time.

Do you have to deliver these the same day they come in or do you have like a week to deliver them? If so, for instance if I float and do 1 day on a round that has them will I get paid for the amount I do?

3.5 P
told we had to count them and book them.
1000+ and so thin its impractical ! i counted out 100 measured the width and used that against the main bundle to estimate.
as a double check i took the number of drops times by 2.5 and got about the same figure.
