The CWU have agreed that any part timer who increases their contracted hours including full time can retain their current terms and conditions ie if you are on legacy terms and conditions you keep them.

Please raise with your rep if you are being asked to move to the new terms.

Do these part-timers who have increased their contracted hours to full-time also retain the duties that they are currently on that they haven't signed for as well? We were promised a revision for nearly 2 years and it has conveniently just been pulled due to USO reform but without a full revision and re-pick they have just bypassed seniority.

To give you an example of this, there is a lad who has only worked for RM for just over a year who has just been made up to full-time. The whole thing stinks.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

In my experience, short service part timers are able to pick the best duties. We have too many full timers at our office and even someone like me who has been at RM for 14 years ends up a s**t reserve. That's what stinks :arrrghhh

A "Royal Mail DG2 contract" refers to a specific type of employment contract with Royal Mail, typically for delivery drivers, categorized as a "Delivery Grade 2" position, which usually entails a higher level of responsibility and potentially a larger delivery round compared to lower grade delivery roles within the company.

That's the info on google search, no idea if it's correct.
Is there an actual source for that or is this more 'AI' BS?

These workers have already done that Martin and as usual the reps don't have a clue. Obviously because you, the div and area reps keep them in the dark to maintain your own positions. This is why people keep leaving. Empowering yourself whilst making the members powerless is not the answer to the membership crisis. Get them lazy bag avoiding div and area reps in and give them a bollocking again. I know they didn't listen last time you told them to get out and work the membership.

One of the problems here is that instead of simply printing out a new contract reflecting the actual working hours the employer has written to workers telling them to go to their app. Have a word yeah? Tell them to just send out new contracts. Not hard is it?
