I know where you're coming from and know PT Posties are looking for the Long Term security of a Full Time position. I'd fight your corner and go for the discrimination angle as outlined by Rehabron. Managers love the easy life and if it becomes easier to give you the job ,than not, he'll probably just sign it off! :cuppa

On a similiar thread, If you don't get the extra hours have you considered another PT job? Sometimes it can fit in with your RM hours. As a lot of Delivery offices are on Industrial Sites there's often other opportunities near by. Used to have a guy who did cleaning 0530-0830 in nearby offices and then turned up for his Delivery only Duty. It worked for him. Good Luck. :Very Happy
In regards to a second job I have considered it, as I mentioned above I signed a contract to do SA every week for 4 hours on a Wednesday, with the pay rise I now bring home £300 a week after tax, it would depend strictly how much more of a gain money wise I would make cleaning for 10/15 hours a week to see if it's worth it.
