It's not with the union's backing.
It might be with your rep's backing but that means nothing.

Not surprised to hear this in the slightest. Part timers are always the first to be screwed over in this business and the union are just as culpable in allowing this to happen as Royal Mail are. Honestly think there should be a separate union for us part timers as the CWU couldn’t care less about us.

I’m FT,so even if your latest fantasy is true (which it won’t be) it won’t really affect me anyway. Just don’t understand why you constantly feel the need to post nonsense on here,to get peoples backs up. Weird behaviour

Ok. Let’s presume there’s some truth in it. Why were you privy to a phone call between the rep & area manager? This is big news that could cause a lot of upset to PTs who have afternoon commitments. Not the sort of information that should be given out to anyone on a whim

Done well to land a work place coach role with only 2yrs service. Some people might say you’re still learning the job yourself.

PS - posting tittle tattle you overhear from the managers office on a message board is probably not the way to go if you want to retain your WPC title

PPS - I still don’t believe you

Its hardly rocket science, 'heres a letter,match it to the address on the street and pop it through the hole in the door, Hers a tracked parcel scan the barcode so you hear a beep, put it by the customers door and knock/ring bell, if they answer say thank you and wave, if they dont write a red card out with the details filled in pop it through the hole in the door and bring the parcel back to the office with you' How we get paid a tenner an hour for that still mystify's me.
