Green Party & Reform Party

Post by BenacreNick »

Green Party & Reform Party.

When we returned to the office this afternoon, we found election material from the Green's and Reform on our desks.

With 8 days to go, how are we supposed to get all this stuff delivered ?

It's arrived far too late and I have complained, but deaf ears.

Is this the same for all offices i wonder, or just ours ?

Same, we delivered Tories and reform today and came back to find more Tories, green and independent on our frame.

Ask the manager if you have to put them all in on the day they arrive, the answer will more than likely be yes. Chuck them in then prep your job like normal, shout the manager over and say you’re only working your time as there’s no excess for election material. See what they say, if there’s still some there just before the election I guess they will have to get extra staff in to clear it.

Hey qwerty, no not my first by any means.

I just think it's very late to be receiving them, I mean we have collected hundreds of returned postal votes out of red boxes, so why get the information from the parties afterwards ?

Hey Manboss, yes definitely get paid, just get another election payment sheet and keep filling it in as you go.

By the way, it's my day off tomorrow (Wed) so that's another day gone.

You get paid for them, they are election leaflets.

You have a week to deliver them, and get paid extra to do so. The election is 9 days away. It is nowhere close to being ‘too late’.

They’re a nice little earner.

7 days left to deliver them starting tomorrow - it’s illegal to deliver election material on election day.

Keep an eye on em too. Some guys in our office banged em out and hadn’t realised they were actually addressed items. :d'oh!
