Tell me more about this...

Is this instead of P&L or what???

I always think it is funny when people say they shouldn't be lapsing - because they want to finish early.

I was on a round the other week with lapsing and absorption

Lapsing is seasonal,absorption is pretty much part of some duties now

[WHITEANT]

Anti ,they distribute 1 delivery prep amongst 2 maybe 3 posties to prep .THE Postie whos duty it is to prep is told to come in later and more DELIVERY is given to him +we all get lapsing aswell .Me i put it on my overtime docket ,the other guys RUN FASTER !!!!

We are also scheduling national discussions to deal with absorption which is an issue for our members and needs to be tackled wisely.
In Moya Greene’s words “The frequency with which employees are asked to cover the routes of colleagues in the case of absence often causes a great deal of strain in the day to day workings of many delivery offices. I agree it is timely and appropriate for the business to revisit the guidelines that have been deployed in these areas.” I think we can all agree on that one and we will endeavour to agree a form of words that provide sensible and fair guidance on this contentious issue.

Well these things take time - it's only 15 months and it's a very complex issue, aren't they all - how many of you have negotiated at this level, there are offices who have had a revision, they lapse, there are offices without a revision, they lapse, you have offices who have had a revision who don't lapse and on the other hand offices without a revision who don't lapse - now can you see the complexity of the issue? No worries though by the time the privatisation has gone through it will no longer be an issue and further negotiations will not be necessary, in fact at this moment in time, ie now, I don't know where we stand but rest assured a joint statement issued as an LTB will eventually surface.
