I've been on a self-imposed overtime ban since last November, a year now. I wouldn't give those b'stards a minute of my own time, and for an inferior
rate, no way. Not anymore, ever. :cool

I think the reason is because the union is becoming more and more toothless by the minute.

I used to be much the same, not any more, im actually finding the job quite relaxing these days, this morning i had one of my busiest days sorting mail into the frame, dum told me just to take out the 1st class :Very Happy

The frame is heaving for the postwoman tomorrow and i know she won't take it out either :wink:

Took out yesterdays mail today, had 6 bag drops, it took me well over 4 hrs to do.
The only trouble is i am having customers complaining they are having no mail like ie yesterday.
And when it does come its 3pm in the afternoon.
i have tried to explain i cant do a 3 and half delivery in 2 hrs 20 mins!
It is my fault no one wants to take the rest of the mail out on overtime and it left for me next day?????? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Ask your DOM for a contact number for complaints and give them that number. He can't refuse I believe but he wont be happy.

I just give folk the customer services number now wether i am out on delivery or doing the callers office, phoning the dum to complain is pointless :arrrghhh

I don't think customer services are much better to be honest :sad:
