If you have had tuesday as your day off every week for two years, you have been underpaid. Tuesday is a short hour day, that means you have worked more than your contracted hours for two years. Ask your rep to get involved and claim a back payment. Bet you don't get every Tuesday after doing that.

When I was a floater I printed some legislation off this site and took it into my manager and demanded my long weekends off every 6 weeks. I got them!

Business Transformation 2010 and Beyond, A National Agreement between Royal Mail & the Communication Workers’ Union

Saturday Attendances
In addition to the above it is jointly recognised that Saturday attendances and in particular
the number of Saturdays worked require special attention in order to meet the aspirations
of employees and the needs of the business.
In recognition of this Royal Mail and CWU commit to providing more Saturday off options as
part of improved attendance patterns for delivery employees. We have jointly explored and
identified a number of options/opportunities to maximise the number of Saturdays off.
Whilst the precise number of Saturdays off and the aspirations of employees will vary from
unit to unit, both parties believe we can deliver cost effective and reliable options that will
maximise the number of Saturdays off for those who wish them. Royal Mail and CWU
commit to achieving at least 1 in 4 Saturdays off for the majority of employees (including
reserves) during the roll out of the operational transformation programme. In some
circumstances this may be exceeded utilising jointly identified options to provide 1 Saturday
off in 2 or 3.
Progress on all the issues/objectives above will be jointly monitored and reviewed at
national level on an ongoing basis.

Not sure if this is the 'legislation' you are looking for.
