Election material

I thought election material was time sensitive? Some walks in our office still have trays of the addressed stuff still untouched!

Sensitive could be radioactive just depends on views and where you are delivering it to but for most people just deliver it but I can understand why people have objections!

Addressed election material should be delivered within 3 days. Non-addressed election material should be delivered within 7 days of being received.

What happens if we get addressed on Tuesday or unaddressed during the week? Do we deliver on Thursday or even later???

give our bosses credit,,,,,when election stuff comes in they give us an a4 sheet ,,,,,says party,,,number and days to deliver,,,,ie 3 days addressed or 7 unaddressed.

All has to be delivered by next Wednesday an also this time they tell us Saturdays arnt included in this 3 or 7 days.

It has been such a busy week that most election stuff was not done in my office,so Friday night they had staff in just prepping election stuff into frames....all got to go Saturday they said.....then the cold,hard reality of what they were saying began to bite........"OK,you have got till Monday then".Ha.

Correct, despite miss information being pushed elsewhere.

Our office has only had Conservative, Labour, and Lib Dems, not sure if the rest are coming but they won't all get done if they turn up tomorrow.

I don't mind prepping election stuff in my own time as we get 6p per item,on some loops I know how many calls I have so I just take them off the bottom of the pile as I walk round....throw off into the frame where I am NOT going before I go out.
Sometimes this is not practical though.
Will be interesting to see what happens at the next election if we are not paid for them
