one day D2D election material

[korky]

CWU negotiations with RM are ongoing regarding this.

they'll let the affected offices know next friday!
other year on a by-election our local council forgot to issue poll cards!
we were issued with a box full of a4 sheets listing local polling booths, EVERY house that day on polling day,
our onion rep said no extra payment and refused to argue the toss

[Hitcher]

It's real simple people -

Abnormal mail volume = cut off or overtime.

Your choice.

What exactly is there to negotiate?
What comes in must go out...

How heavy is the D2D? Will there be weight/replenishment issues?
If the call rate is higher, then obviously the delivery span is longer.
Therefore to finish on time the peeps will need to be leaving the office earlier.
How can that be achieved?
Extra resources to advance the IPS?
Is it possible to advance the second wave? (There won't be a second wave on Tuesday will there?)
Ensure there is a list of available people willing to cover any cut offs.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who decide they are cutting off, days before the actual event.
"OOh it is something different. I'll cut off". It is embarrassing and pathetic.
(But not as embarrassing and pathetic as union reps voting UKIP)

We don't have much left to protect but the election material payment system is one of those.
If we sit back and accept election material coming as a D2D it's likely the business will move to that model.
There is also the fact that a day specific D2D would be priced as a premium product, it's only right that the staff that will have to do the work are rewarded accordingly.
I didn't see you as the rolling over type.

After speaking to a few of the manager's involved it would seem that they would like to see a payment made, hardly surprising really. If they fail this stuff they're likely to be in the s**t.

I think it's mostly bravado and probably in a lot of cases not even true but there's also a connection with the management style in some offices, I've met some managers I wouldn't work over my time for, there's probably a lesson there for any lurking managers but I doubt they're smart enough to take it on board.

Union reps voting UKIP?
Do we have a mutual acquaintance?

There is now an agreement on the delivery of the d2d election drop for the 5th and 6th may !

It only applies to 4000 odd delivery routes out of 64 thousand.

The D2D drop will be paid on the pence per item which your office normally gets from delivering election. Material !

Mostly in Scotland, according to "uncle BOB"

[speckledtangerine]

Ach well. At least we have the consolation of knowing that as Scottish Labour spunk the last of their CWU subs on pish like this, they probably won't have any MPs in Scotland on the 8th of May.

Just let that sink in Jim.

The ones for tue and wed are laying in our office just now.
Who in their right mind is going to vote labour? Considering we've hand umpteen labour leaflets i can't see another one making much impact. Can't we just throw them in a river?

Labour's been sending out D2D for weeks on end since January in Scotland - and you can't argue that isn't material related to the election (since it bangs on about hypothetical compositions of parliament). So the precedent has already been set.

Who? The Labour Party? I know they are a bunch of pen pushing,desk sucking jotter blotters, but drowning them is a bit harsh,except for Milliband and Prescott, oh okay,drown the lot of them.

RM don't have any say as to what service the parties use to send their stuff out by

I'll try and remember that on Tuesday when my office is delivering them and we're not in Scotland It will make them feel better
