1 in 15 jobs to go at Royal Mail

[The General]

Starting from Monday, apparently. For every 15 delivery walks - the RM want 1 walk to be done on top on the postman's normal delivery. Hey i cant grumble - as i've had it easy for the past 5 years - and its not going to add a whole lot of time but expect local strikes - maybe at the bigger offices (such as Basildon, Southend, Chelmo) The RM have given up with the Union (who i've never been a member of) and are no longer listening/discussing anything with them.

Things could get worse over the next 2 years but we shall see.

So - expect later mail, more mistakes, never having the same postman and just a whole load of confusion!

Happy days!

So just like it is now then ;)

In all honesty, as you've already said, this was always going to happen as how can people expect to be paid for a ceratin number of hours a week, only work some of them and then go on strike when they are challenged over it? You seem to be quite philosophical about it as i'm sure most "newcomers" to the job would be, however the people who have done this for years will no doubt kick off big time

on the bright side, the extra walking should add to your fitness for the football?

Im immune to walking - so cant really use that as a positive!!

As G says - im sure the old guard will kick up the biggest stink but its going to be interesting next 3/4 days so if the postie looks hacked off this week - you know why!

Perhaps he found his wage slip blowing down the road as I have done not once but twice in the last year?

Well if you are on here at 12:30 it's clear you finish far too early. You have plenty of time to deliver another round.

Sorry I don't get this - is there some kind of in-clique jokes going on here ?

 

[The General]

Could get worse - some offices could lose 1 in 6 jobs - which is a horrible thought as thats a stupid amount of jobs that are going to be gone!!
