i am lost on this topic, so what is being said now that 12pm on saturday day we have to go in and do 1 hours work? cut off i think is 1pm or something on sat for delivery staff or 12.40 pm or something? lost big time here. This is a shambles.
No, simple fact. In deliveries, do your normal job Thursday, finish at your proper time, then your off til the Wednesday morning.
But if you follow the Union rules implicitly and management ask you to cover a round after yours and you finish yours after 12.00 you cant do it, but how many will.

Also Madelin it counts from when your shift or overtime starts so if you usually start at 5.00 or 7.00 you do not have to go in after midday.

From what i can see,it DOES NOT mean you stop work at 12,if you're a delivery Postie.

commencing at or after 12 noon on Thursday 4th October

This is for collections and Mail Centers.

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.

It all depends on when your shift starts that's the deciding factor not where you work. At least till the functional rolling strikes start again.

Remember what it said on our letters this morning................Final detailed notice of the strike start and finish times will be sent to you in due course. So lets wait till then before anyone starts worrying.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
