Revisions going live this week

Post by POSTMAN »

Operational Modernisation

As part of our nationwide programme of operational transformation, we are making changes to our delivery arrangements in some offices this week (w/c 14 January).

These changes could include: a review of delivery routes, improved delivery equipment being brought into use or changes to the way in which we prepare mail for delivery. Customers may have started to see changes this week in the following areas:

Bungay - NR35
Caernarfon - LL54 & LL55
Chatham - ME4 & ME5
Ebbw Vale - NP23
Frodsham - WA6
Holbeach - PE12
Kyle - IV40, IV41, IV44, IV45, IV46, IV52 & IV53
Ludlow - SY8
Shipley - BD17 & BD18
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Have your office agreed to the revison and the start times , if they have then yes they can introduce the revison.

If your office has not and you have had no vote then you need to contact your area rep staraight away.

Nobody has agreed to the revision or the start times! It's just a massive farce! (Shock). Not had a vote, trying to get everybody to vote by show if hands on 1 in 4 or 1 in 6! Scaring ppl by saying if we vote 1 in 4 that we will lose 3 full time members of staff.

We were told that as well. Took us over a year to finally get 75% 1 in 4s as well as increase full time in office as well. Don't believe any manager that says it costs jobs. RM don't want staff to have it that's all.

Tank don't take this the wrong way but why is your office allowing Royal Mail to do this. For all the criticism about the national agreement and guidelines the agreement is a negotiation as is start times and the menu of options is in step 1 of the process. Yes improved attendances can alter the mix of full time staff but again the increase in indoor performance is a negotiation.

I would advise you to get in touch with your area rep , branch and divisional rep.

The agreement does not allow Royal Mail to introduce the agreement on their own It has a phase 4 joint sign off which should be subject to a vote of your office .

Good luck

I liken this crazy madhouse of a company, to a man who steps in the biggest dog turd you've ever seen in your life, and goes and does it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and despite knowing it's not a very good idea, does it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, zzzzzzzzz
