No I get a honorary of £120 a year. I am on call 24/7, I have taken members to ATOS in my own time, I have taken members home when suppended, I have spent weekends on the phone or face to face meetings. I do this job to help workers and not for finnacial gain.

No. But they would get the new D2D supplement, I understand, if they are 'tagged' to a delivery office :hmmmm ... whereas right now, if they don't deliver any they don't get paid anything.

Now that would be a pay rise... for some.
E-mail Post Worker to get regular news reports and leaflets. Order copies of the posties paper at 20p per copy, £10 for 50, £15 for 100, £20 for 200 or more, plus postage. Ask your Branch to order copies in bulk for your members and activists.

So are you suggesting Area Reps get paid less than those who they represent?

My branch pushed the honoriria down to £20 per rep/officer to save funds.

No...but if you are unhappy about what the AR gets...put your name forward and stand against him/her in an election...and if you win...see how you handle the flack you get from members who think they can do a "better job" of being an AR !
