Dear Terry,
we note your letters and disregard them. We love to watch your videos spouting all sorts of fighting talk to your members ( right on comrade ) and yet, apart from some aggrieved emails and yet more letters, you simply don't take any action to make us change our minds ( about anything ). We shall continue to take Executive Action changing start and finish times and methods of working as we please ( your members have to agree as there is little / no opposition from many of your local reps :Very Happy ) .

We may have to delay our ultimate goals slightly due to all this fuss over a virus ( personally none of us want to be within 2km of your members, let alone 2 metres ).

However, we must congratulate you and your cohorts for your inaction during this crisis as the parcel count has gone through the roof :Applause and the concerted efforts of the delivery guys to get as much done as possible in a shift means we now have the data capture to prove that a 14% efficency improvement over the next 4 years is easily achievable and will be expected. Unfortunately the improvements required to achieve your members 6% pay rise over 3 years is 15% ( we may increase this at our discretion, especially if we get close to achieving it ).

Anyway, we are off until Tuesday at the earliest, keep up the good work.

Hugs

Rico and the gang :wave

Scarily accurate :shock: :shock: :Very Happy :Applause

But how much of it is down to:

1) Near enough everyone being in because of the lockdown so (at least in theory) very few 739'd items
2) Suspension of capturing signatures

One day does not make a huge difference maybe instead of a pay rise is looking at a reduction of the working week as it is now the case 38 hours full time we need to even this work load out by making part time up so we don't ware out full time staff. As it is busier than Christmas now with out extra staff this cannot go on or people will walk out or go on the sick they need a solution and not a big stick!

Am I right in assuming then that if your day off falls on either good Friday or Easter Monday then you have the option of being paid for it or a day in lieu?

Was told again today that I would not have the option of pay or day in lieu for my day off falling on good Friday and this was from manager and rep. Day off in lieu will be credited to next years holiday. That's the thanks you get for working through this virus, especially with all the extra parcels every day. They should be ashamed of themselves for treating their employees with such arrogance.

Before I get told off again, the option to be paid is still in the mix and because they have not offered you a day off in the same week it still stands.

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.
