It is nearly £40/week.
The tasks expected of a WPC seem to vary from office to office.
Training/retraining - at one point ours approached you with failures/complaints but that died a death.
There have long been rumours that the WPC was going to become a supervisor role when the like managers all disappeared .......but we are still waiting.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

We had two . This is how you use a LWT finito. Oh and one trained newbies ; trouble being he had no idea of SSOW ;mail security;meal reliefs,etc.etc.
£60 a week for shafting new starters ,unpaid OT ;commit to deliver; take ownership of your unachievable workload ;it's the way forward; this is the way the business is going.

Thanks for the input,Inthink I’ll give it a miss myself,I have enough to do just to complete my round without extra stress to tip me over the edge,I’d have to be straight with people in my office and that won’t go down well,

Go for it i would you go on a few courses and train new posties it means you will be taken off your walk a fair bit and you may have to coach posties on mistakes but its a lot of money over the course of your working life.

That was very rude its his job as a coach to inform you of any complaints, you are lucky he did not take it further.

Better to be told by a coach than being conducted by a manager but if you prefer that you are going a good way to ensure it'll happen.

Wanting people shot because you disagree with their actions also seems to be an overreaction. But then if you think your perfect and can't do any wrong I can see why you react that way.

BTW I have seen people get shot it's not pretty and it's not something I would wish on any colleague or manager.

That will change. Believe me. Doms are being pressed by their bosses to account what the wpc does in their office. I would say to anyone who's interested, to go for it, give it a try. You're not signing up for life, you can quit it whenever you want to. Too many on here say the usual stuff but don't actually apply for it. It is extra work and extra stress and no, not in our office at least, the wpc is not the Dom's pet. We all speak up and are pretty outspoken. We look after the interests of our fellow workers, more so than any cwu rep we've ever had! Of course, the extra money is useful too. Get everything you can out of this company is my advice. Runners and those who are on easy walks have been getting more than £36 a week for sitting at home after finishing early.
