Lone parent postie query?

Post by Noctua »

I know in deliveries ( in my office anyway ) if you are crocked you can be giving a driving duty and leap frog others with more seniority. But my question is, if you become a lone parent can you also leap frog others ie for a round that has better hours or days off which suit your child care issues due to your circumstances if a re-pick occurs?

When I applied it was turned down - the unsaid implication was that my family are expected to be flexible to royal mail (union rep wasn't very helpful)
