election material

Post by hans solo »

we have been told payment only for an item which has " election communication " printed on it

is this correct as we now have dsa addressed election material ,non addressed election material for which we receive no payment which also has to be delivered on same day
think we have been stitched up by cwu as reps agree to this
we are also delivering labour leaflets as d2d fcukin cheapskates

We've had at least 1 D2D a week for the last month, we have also had at least 1 DSA per week, I've got in the frame now 4 lot of election stuff all to go in the next couple of days. Can see a quite a drop in traffic after the election, people need to get ready for the extra lapsing that will be coming our way :sad:

DSA is paid if marked 'election material'.

Uncle Bob had a row about it a while back.

For the full sp look up and see the pink announcement.

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.

Not if they are sent out first or second class or as dsa, they are supposed to be delivered to spec so you dont get 3 days for those types

That is not good for workers as there will be multiple mailing for each house. If other party do the same, it will be hell. Luckily I am on my way to Athens ;)

Didn't we something similar last year (The Sun?) but either way you have a finish time if you don't want to go over.
