How long do you have to be in employment to go from temp contract to permanent contract

Legally it is 4 years I think but RM and the CWU have an agreement at 2 years.
Unless ..........
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Job security agreement 2012 look for that but the 2 years doesn't mean at your office anywhere near you that's had revision and needs staff can be offered to you. Also speak to your reps to get in contact with your branches

3.2 Royal Mail employees will be employed on permanent contracts, except where there is a genuine short term need identified. CWU will be consulted in advance where there is any such requirement. Temporary contracts will not exceed two years unless it has been jointly agreed that there are very exceptional circumstances. The position of temporary contract employees will be kept under regular review by the local parties, with a view to converting to permanent contracts where and when possible. Additionally, where change programmes have been completed and bedded in, the status of temporary contract employees will be reviewed and converted to permanent contracts unless there is no need for this additional resourcing or where there is an identified and agreed need to continue with a fixed term contract. Royal Mail confirms that as part of the review of this agreement, it is the aspiration to reduce the length of temporary contracts to no more than one year.

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.

I've already spoken to the rep, and emailed 'justsayit'.....they both just gave me a load of excuses and say hopefully something will happen next year :/
