A while back when I was sorting packets I noticed that every single frame was prepped bar mine. I asked the line manager about this as he was walking past and he said it's because everyone comes in early and preps their walk-sorted trays before going into the IPS on their start times. I asked if they were mugs and he laughed and said yes.

Funny how Royal Mail never puts out a press release about this. "Thousands of CWU members come in early every week and work FOR FREE to get your mail delivered."

I can remember an idiot at my old office who used to come in.....TWO hours early every single day ......then again he was the saddest individual I had ever met and had no social life or friends at all ...Royal Mail was his life....he has long since gone and started his own business in Aussie....as....wait for it.....an undertaker....and doing well apparently judging from what folk tell me.

I'm one of these 'idiots' who came in early every day. My wife thought I was an idiot as did my friends who thought it highly amusing. My duty starts between 8 and 8:30 depending on the day of the week. I would come in at 7:30 every day except for Saturday which would be 6:30. The DOM never asked you to come in early but didn't stop anyone either. About 90-95% of part timers come in early with a small minority turning up before full timers started!

I didn't want to come in early but you were under a bit of pressure because we're in the new revision so you felt you were being unfair to whoever you were partnered with. You reasoned with yourself that if you started early, you finished early.

I've stopped doing it now so usually I'm the last out and last back. Even getting phone calls while still out on delivery asking when I'll be back, even though I'm still within my stated delivery times.

I told my manager last week that I wanted to cut off and only work my contracted daily hours but was told that I can't do that and have to continue until finished. I would very much welcome some advice here.

I think its time Royal Mail and the CWU introduced a national policy and stop people coming in early or renegotiate start times for part timers.

Royal Mail are getting a full time employee for part time pay and contributions.

Your boss is talking out of his shitbox. Get your rep onto this.

All overtime is voluntary. If you go over your time you should be paid, if not, dont go over.
Sounds simple enough but with a couple of provisos.
Immediately upon finding that you will be unable to finish within your time inform your nearest screw. Let them advise you what they want you to do. Working over your hours unless you want to is NOT one of the options available to them.
They will have a list of bullshit that they trot out in order to make you think that you should do what they want. This is where a rep comes in handy.

Anyone else had one of these 'delivery practises' sheets handed round this week via WTL? It lists all the things that the office MUST adhere to, such as taking breaks after IPS has finished, and starting at the correct time - no early or late starts allowed. Apparently the DOM can get conducted if not followed. But we have had people coming in at least half an hour early since the year dot. We'll see if anything changes now... Not holding my breath.
