Well done cwu members for waving the white flag.

Who the hell votes yes for doing an extra 33 percent work in return for what? The 3 percent pay rise that was agreed last year and that marches inflation so isn't actually a pay rise.

Not everyone is doing 33% more.
Those doing 50/50 are a sizeable number and whole offices work this way going into DM26.
Then you have yes voters in other areas but delivery.
The real issue is people wanting ‘no’ but not voting.
Again.

The CWU is finished, that turnout just shows, how far they have fallen in the members eyes.Anyone in delivery that voted yes, deserves everything they get

How long is it going to take to implement....

Is Royal Mail and the CWU going to take an age working out which duties will go together in a 4. Which duties remain singletons. Which duties get reduced in size to create new duties.... have any of these decisions already been made?

I hope they answer this in their CWU live later.

Whispers that a plan is already in place for our office, time will tell how true that is

Already in ours, having re-pick now. New duties gone up and told it's coming in end aug begin sept.

New duties ? how have the duties changed ?
Apart from the changes to how often 2c etc is delivered, did you get a revision to change the duties .

Duties have changed by getting bigger and have been evened out best as possible, they're all up on the board for everyone to see so when they pick they know exactly what they are picking like on a map. Don't know about 2c. Singletons have had or seem to have had the most added to them.

Repick is pretty much nearly done and as said been told end aug begin sept it will be in and was told that last Monday as it was my pick.

There's no rotating the duties, we thought the 3 people would be rotated weekly but it's same 1 person in one van and same 2 people in other van.

DPR drivers not been included.

No new or old removed duties have been added.

In our office it will literally be 3 people doing 4 peoples work 50/50 per day.

So vote was pretty pointless as from what it seems in our office it was done deal.

What about your start/finish times and duty structure?

[WBAPOST]

More people have filled in the My Experience nonsense (35% up to now)than actually voting either yes/no for something that really affects what happens in their workplace
Sums it up really union is finished.

Because management are going around telling people to do it as it’s linked to their bonuses.

That's because their manager pestered them to do it everyday.

Not one visit from the local CWU rep and our office rep claimed to have no information during the whole time the ballot was running

[smok3y666]

What about your start/finish times and duty structure?

Start time 6:40 every day, longer days with latest being 3pm on wednesday or there abouts, dont know exactly the finish times. Our office is doing 3 weeks and 5 days work then Sat and 5th week off and someone worked it out that with new start and finish times we'll be doing roughly 48 hours per week which is a long shift from the 35 hour week we were promised a few years ago.

Think it's extra 35-40 mins per day roughly extra.

Been told we'll be finishing after 4pm

“As this agreement has now been confirmed, the 3% pay rise for old contracts will be paid on the 5th of June for weekly paid workers and by 30th of June for monthly paid workers”


They told us the 3% pay rise was a separate agreeement and not linked to the result of this ballot. Nice to be told barefaced lies by the union.

That did confuse me as well

[Chelseablue]

Same after 4pm. Nice dark winters. Scorchio in summers, heatwaves being the norm now. Sad times

How the heck is it 33% extra work if the offices trialling this, or who have already started this way of working are clearing.

They must have had it easy before this if they had 33% less work, must have been going home 2 and a half hours early.

This said....

Is Martin not giving us all the details...

He's saying Manchester South East and Shepperton have been clearing with these changes....

if they are clearing on overtime then he's selling us a lie. He's telling us that they cleared with the changes with no overtime?

Some of us don't do excess.
