One of my old colleagues used to take his d2d's home on a Friday or Saturday to 'nest' them which in itself is not supposed to happen.Then,on the Monday morning he would pull up outside the door unload them all onto the floor then,go park his car up and walk over to pick up the d2d's to take into the office to prep,always laughed at him!

I like the fact they always say " our lass or the kids like to prep them " , but you're still taking live mail home

thats part of the problem pal

lets guess you have been there a while, have a full time contract, and an easy round, and can simply turn around and say i'll stick to my hours

the likes of me who are on 24 hours, get pro rata everything, end up on s**t rounds, cant afford to turn down overtime, and if we don't want to work over, we get bullied and the union go into hiding

the truth is, you may as well have posted, 'I'm alright jack'

I've posted this before, but it's relevant.
I turned up at a delivery office to pick up missorts and empty yorks one Saturday.
As I was loading, a couple of posties who I know ( man and wife ) came along. They were not in uniform, and explained they were off this week. After we exchanged pleasantries, I asked them why they were here. Oh, we just going to throw off our D+D's for next week.
I was so shocked I nearly fell off the tailboard !

I've never been one to understand this argument.

You took the job on a 24 hour contract, it wasn't forced upon you.
Fact of the matter is that if you actually did the job as it was supposed to be done you would be booking overtime everyday without the additional workload. After 6 months your contract will be reviewed (per CWU agreement) and if it's shown your working over your contracted hours you'll be made up to reflect it. Your Pro rata will then reflect that.
Work smarter, not harder

If a 24 hour contract job is all that is on offer then it is sort of forced on you. You can't just ask for a full time job.
Not everyone who does the job properly needs to book overtime, I think some people mean " do the job slowly" rather than "properly."
Even if he did book overtime everyday he wouldn't necessarily get an increase in his hours because it would go to the most senior person.
So virtually every single word of your post is factually incorrect.

If a 24 hour contract is all that's on offer you have a choice. You take it or you dont. It is in no way forced.

The poster also made reference to always being put onto the s**t walks. What's makes them so bad? Are they using a trolley? Walking at a safe pace? Not looking at letters whilst moving? Taking a break? Using their posting peg and delivering to neighbours?
All of those methods are agreed between RM and the CWU. If your manager has a problem with them being implentmented, their issue is with their bosses not the OPG.
If this is such a massive issue for PT workers maybe it is time they got together, worked to rule and refused the overtime.
Remember YOU are the union. These things will only happen if you are prepared to fight for them

That's their problem. Everybody is so concerned with what everybody else is doing. Just go in, do your job and shift, get paid and then go home. If they want to go in early and work for free that's their choice.

Trouble is them hours worked for free if they weren't worked for free could have meant some part timers getting more hours or maybe even some part time hours being made upto full time

Whilst I see you're point, that won't happen...they're doing it to either make sure they finish on time or to get finished early. If they didn't do it then they'd still get the same round and it'd take the same amount of time. they're not going to call a part timer on for an extra 45 minutes f a morning to throw up D2D's. This isn't like 'ghost overtime'.

And they'd probably go over, then they'd either cut-off or claim OT
