So… they won’t be able to advertise that they pay ‘10% above market average’ anymore. 10% above minimum wage will be £13.43 an hour. Maybe they will be able to find people to recruit by advertising ‘pay thats 30p above minimum wage’.

This job with everything we do should be around £15 a hour for everyone, no two tier nonsense, to be a few pence above minimum wage is taking us for mugs now.

I'm not, I'm looking for something else already, jobs changed so much from my previous time as a postie, and not for the better!

The premium for walking 8 to 10 miles a day in the pissing down rain is being eroded even quicker than I thought. All that’s going to happen is they will have to up the rate of the new contracts and then in the next breath will say sorry there’s nothing left for anybody on the legacy contract.

We should be on £16 pounds an hour for what we do.. what they ll do now to anyone on a new contract is put it up 30p an hour.. about 90p altogether above the minimum wage..it's a disgrace.

Yeah I agree, but also do away with the delivery supplement and we ALL start on a fair wage

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 agree. The Union need to push for at least a £15ph wage for all in delivery and scrap the supplement so that if you do overtime you will still earn this rate.

We didn't need a Labour government increasing minimum wage to tell us how bad the current t's and c's are.
