Collections supplement

Post by Strong bull »

Has anyone else who works in collections had their delivery supplement changed to a collections supplement which is much less?

Yes , I've lost about £914 a year ( bye bye pay rise !) We weren't even told it was happening and just found out when the wage slips appeared on Tuesday afternoon . We've obviously got the union involved and it's up with headquarters who are seeking a resolution .
Apparently it's to do with the management restructure which means we are no longer attached to a Delivery Office .

Anyone with half a brain 🧠 cell can see the union have lost any type of power & RM are basically steamrolling ahead and doing whatever they like.

Open your eyes👍

Apply for a Delivery duty, get your delivery supplement back.

The truth of matter is Processing & collection staff just see the £££ and voted yes to the surrender doc,thinking that it never really affected them,now they want to cry about losing supplement.

I thought that collections had been tagged to MCs for a good few years.

MC and RDC staff combined have been outnumbered by delivery staff by about 2:1 (could well now be 3:1). It doesn't matter which way we vote, our votes only make a difference if it's a close race between yes and no

I’m not blaming anyone for voting yes,the union pushed back the ballot & encouraged the yes vote.

This is entirely their fault

It's lower because the delivery supplement partly compensates for the removal of the d2d payment that delivery posties earned.

Waiting over ; if you think this is blaming the union and not processing and collection staff then I give up on sensible debate on here and I'll get back to crying about losing my supplement.
