first of all check that they are permanent contracts ask the phg,s they know more than anyone in the office.
if its true ask your o/c why the full-term contracts were not given to staff already working at your office if the guvnor says it nothing to do with you go to your area rep or area guvnor and ask whats going on.

I seem to remember a while back that it was agreed that after 2 years on a temporary contract you had to be given a full time one.

Does any else remember this?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
