Collections

Post by CaptainQuint »

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone had any words of advice for me on here?

If I joined Royal Mail working in processing and (then got an increase in hours to become a collections driver which was still based in processing and with at least 2 hours a day in processing after my collection) can management under realignment put me in delivery and tell me to go out and deliver before/after my collection?
I have never worked for delivery and would point out that this isnt what I signed up for.

Thanks for any help.

AFAIK collections don't come under processing. They either separate or come under distribution (one of the two)

Go out and do the delivery so slow and bring loads back with you. After 2 weeks they won't be asking for you again I promise you that. Do a good job on the delivery and you will be doing it ubtil retirement. Choice is yours!!

Thanks for your responses, just a little bit gutted that the union looks so powerless on this issue.
Will see what happens.

Thanks again.
