Topics merged.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Door to Doors Came in Late This week.

So guess what? They have come in (Today Wednesday) asked the manager if we just deliver Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturdays as normal he replied ”No its catch up its live mail you will have to do Mondays and Tuesdays as well” its only one lot most posties have, but what if five lots came in today or one lot came in on Friday that would give us no time at all.
Its a piss take now, they never done this before when we were getting paid because they would have to pay us a extra 20%.
I asked my union rep today what’s the scenario on this he agreed with the managers decision.
Anyone know any different on this. I’m sure this was not agreed nationally. If they come in late its Royal Mails problem not mine.

It is LIVE MAIL and as such if managers want you to deliver more than 16% or 20% then they can. However your 8, 6, 5 or 1 hour contracts are still the same
and you need not work beyond that.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

None done last week and none this.Out of 40 walks i would say about 3 did any at all.With the backlog xmas pressure and ice/snow on the ground it was just impossible.If they had given us any guaranteed pressure overtime then we would have been more inclined but we got nil. :Boo hoo!
