Weekend enhanced rate - 14 hours guaranteed a month

Royal mail get their later starts! No mail on Saturday!
20% of the workforce available for weekend work!
Thanks

Can Simon please make this happen for me! Cheers

Yeah, speak for yourself - I know you are but you could do better than that - terrible

lol

I can’t see how any of that is appealing

I haven't heard anything about getting another hour off the working week. I presume it's on hold while they offer us a crap pay deal. Any details about the SWW in particular?

Given the proposals include a new 'slave tier' for all new employees, who, amongst other things will be contracted to work 40 hour weeks for a reduced hourly rate of pay, I think we can presume that dear Simon is moving away from the idea of reducing hours.

The 'ideal' end point of this for the likes of the egregious Simon would be all delivery staff working 40 hours a week, everyone driving, and everyone working 5 days a week over 7 days, including, obviously, Sundays. Because that's 'industry standard'. Oh, and 'annualised hours', or his version of that.

It doesn't mean I think this will happen soon, but it's the natural end point. And RM will want it to happen sooner rather than later because that's how big corporations work.

With a decent wage rise, that would be appealing to a lot more people than you think.

Then they'd have to do the revisions all over again to factor in the 10 to 30 minute losses in time stuck in rush hour traffic.

Imagine the cost to Royal Mail if rush hour traffic slows every Postman down across the country by an average of 10 minutes per day.

Why? If they aren't paying you for going over it doesn't matter. You'll just be out longer.

They are still paying you one way or the other, it’s a relevant point.

Fair play to Simon and his senior team though. The CWU were adamant that they wanted a 'no strings' pay deal, and so they've come back with a pay deal with a ball and chain attached instead.

Speak for your self, Quite happy with 7am-2pm and no sundays, have a weekend team of new workers for sat/sun parcels.

What will you be doing on Saturday if someone else is doing parcels though?

My original point remains, and I'm not speaking for myself. But with the correct incentives, later starts and SOME unsociable work hours at the weekend would work for many people.

Maybe it would although nobody in my time in Royal Mail has ever said that to me but I think the point is you don't get the choice.

Like it or lump it seems to be Royal Mail's new mission statement.

Piss the workforce off at your peril RM
