Lads were told that there would be no overtime so prep what you think would keep you going til you're time & bring any mail back that you can't manage.

yep same here at skeg, got told IPS would be kept to a minumum 2 hours prep or whatever you thought would take you till your time as no pressure OT until the dispute is sorted

We were told to only take out what you can deliver. No excess but there is overtime for absence.

I suppose if customers get a a couple of letters they think everything is back to normal and it's more efficient not to bring mail back. Good managment on their part but there is still mountains of it left.

on the iow the strike is not that strong. the managers here have sorted the mail b4 it went to pompey so iw did not loose to much mail. although certain rounds did not go out(those on the picket line) and in other do's where the strike was 90 to 100% customers woke up to a delivery of a handful of letters. the guys on the missort run say some offices will take a week to clear. just in time to start again then!
it is rumoured that sandown suffered criminal damage by persons unkown the locks were glued. seems it must be time for a transfer to sunny sandown.
overtime here is a joke. if you strike no ot if you are a scab book as much as you like.

We just had a normal day!

When I say normal it was just like a usual Monday.

All the backlog mail has not been removed from the containers and are queued up through the DO.

Can't wait for the rest of the week...not

I'm well pi**ed off with the bunch at my office as only about 7 took part in the strike.
As a 30hr contract who is not in the pension fund, the issues don't apply to me that much, but as a union member I supported my fellow men/women even though I know I can't afford to lose pay.
I probably won't bother in the future strikes

exactly the same as our office. Got about 7 mech bundles and 6 stacks of flats still at the office that I didnt take out or prep.

well that was a shite day loads on mech bundles and mail on top of fittings that the strike breakers had done.
some walks had been chucked in all the slow ones and still some came in for free just to get out and rush about.

Well, we were told to prep in what wud take us to our time, so lots left.... also we were told we had to take 20 mins break and cud take 20 mins at end of duty!!! thats all fair enough but i never take my break i wud carry fruit with me etc, also what are we meant to do ? stop and sit in the street and eat? also no toilets to go to if start having a lunch out on the street???

Beforenineoclockgoodone · Post by **Beforenineoclockgoodone** » 10 Oct 2007, 14:24

No I suppose he means you could finish 20 mis early, thus taking 20mins worth of mail back with you?

We not allowd to bring it back once we have took it out!!with the law, workers have to hav 20 mins for every 4 hours they work, so that is why he told us that 20 mins b4 out and 20 mins at the end, so cud finish 20 mins b4 end duty. They are only keeping themselfs right, they dont care if we didnt take a break!!!
