oh yes , and that agreement between rico back and terry pullinger about any duty changes etc will be VOLUNTARY

, its not worth the paper it was written on ,as managers are just doing what they like and taking posties off there regular deliverys on a Saturday and expecting them to attempt to do another 2 dutys worth of parcels just to try and make an unagreed with the rep plan work , which it doesn't by the way as its an absolute joke , do the CWU realise how much this is affecting posties ? I guess NOT ,

i've not seen a "decent" dom in years, we are like QPR at changing managers but no matter what, it's always the same old doing deals and getting away with it
"they don't need to lapse because they're taking extra on overtime" & "they don't need to do ips as they're doing 2 duties today" and can still finishing before regular time,
i actually heard 1 guy complaining they were going to be an hour over due to lack of others in early to sort, think its 5 hours pay for an extra duty

it won't happen but RM needs to do away with line managers,
they cause 99.9% of the problems & arguments because most are spineless and pay anything to anyone willing to work 1 or 2 hours for an extra 4 or 5 hours pay if it means themselves not forced to cover it, then they pounce on the weak and act nasty to try to recoup some of the time

No social distancing at all. Last in getting treated better than people who have been here years.hiding hours n overtime in other peoples pay. Is all this allowed. We do not have a union rep either. Surely this is not acceptable.

Sounds like our office except we have reps.

forget PDA actuals ,we also need indoor actuals, not sure if it's same everywhere but we live in a dog-eat-dog job amongst ourselves, we are killing this job quicker than the management

Yep! Rep makes local agreement without consulting the floor and guess who it benefits! Rep and his mates on the cushy number. So the ones who are now shafted and struggling are left to fight the the four managers we have now because the rep isn't interested and says don't rock the boat! So lapsing is here to stay and if you don't like it take it to the four managers to give you the special treatment.
Yes I know, work your hours, change your rep etc etc
Rotten to the core

Explain this one to me? Our place is just as bad as what's been mentioned. A few on the cushy duties are having stuff took off them as they are coming in early OT to sort, all arranged by secret phonecalls nothing discussed on the floor. I'd divorce someone if they were working the amount of hours getting claimed by some in my place!

i can live with people who can find those deals to earn some easy money, but only if they do their indoor work,
i often see sorters who aren't sorting but doing their own duty prep instead,
but this then puts pressure on the regulars with getting out later and cue the abuse off line management, you explain that we've been a sorter or 2 down so we're late off ips, the reply is yes, because they're doing overtime
