Walk being Removed and lodging a Greivance

[Pycho666]

Afternoon all.

I feel I need a little support as I am feeling pretty depressed at the moment.

I'll try keep it short. Found out that my Duty is being removed and being shared out amongst 3 others, no idea why mine is singled out for removel.

A couple of other duties - rurals are going in the office in order to save x amount.

It was a singleton duty and the attendance pattern for the duty I signed for is different to all others hence the reason I signed for it 2 years ago.

I am second on the seniority list ( doesn't matter I know)

I asked the Rep where I stand and he said I'll become a reserve basically. He has lodged a disagreement but will probably happen by executive action

I mentioned a repick surely and he just laughed

Anyone know what is likely to now happen?

I know for a fact there are duties within the office that have people on them who actually haven't 'signed' for them but are full time duties where's I am p/t

How do I lodge a Greivance? Should know this but never had the need to look it up

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond If anyone does.

it's about time the cwu started treating PT staff correctly in representing them, after all they will be the majority sub payer soon enough,
i don't think there's 1 in our d/o who takes a break other than a butty driving between loops in a toilet called a van
i feel for you in the situation but unless you have the gonads to dig in if/after you lose your duty and make it hard for them, then RM will do what they like
i am FT btw but never forgot the crap when a PT reserve

If the walk has been removed for good there should be a resign. We have been told no resign unless office cuts like you have had.

This is what I thought, thought it was a given but the Rep really wasn't interested

[Janet Brum]

Contact the area rep then, your rep is usseles

I believe a certain percentage of duties have to be affected by change in order to trigger a full repick.

[Celgar]

If your office is losing three walks that should automatically trigger a full resign. Union reps are usually full on when it comes to implementing these kind of rules previously agreed between RM and the union. No one likes or enjoys resigns but it usually wouldn't be considered 'proper' for someone high in seniority to be automatically dropped from having their own walk to becoming a reserve. If your rep doesn't support this then they need to be replaced.

correct it is, but you can't tell most posties this as they think you've just made it up, or up the managers ass.

[SpacePhoenix]

...and if someone's duty has changed by less than a certain amount (think it's 33%) then they can take their duty out of the pot

[beanmuncha]

A third of the duties have to have had a big change to them, either in start times or delivery points added or taken away, or in this case being removed.
To have a resign is not as easy as some think, my office keeps calling out for one but nothing has triggered one.
it is hard to explain sometimes, but i heard a rumour RM want annual revisions with a resign????
Just remember under the present agreements if you don't want to you don't have to put your duty in if no change has occurred to it.

I will do when the time comes, may get no where as some on here point out but there is no way I am just letting this go quietly, it has already affected my mental health stupid as it sounds

Thanks for the replies.

Definitely not stupid mate. I don't usually worry too much about stuff but all this has started to affect me too as im sure many will feel it.

[Acca Dacca]

Your best bet is arguing for the duties that are currently being covered by reserves and unsigned for being advertised to be signed for rather than a full resign

[sixfoottwo]

I'd definitely take it further, If no joy from Rep go contact the area Rep as its well out of order tbh.

[Ralph Wiggum]

A resign of duties would only apply if a certain percentage of duties within the office have changed. Now im not 100% sure but 1/3rd springs to mind, im sure someone will confirm this.

If it is below this then im afraid you lose your duty and indeed will be a reserve until other duties come up for pick.
