Yes, which will make it pensionable too.clashcityrocker wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025, 15:54I think what he said was incorporating it into basic pay - not simply taking it away.

It won't be too long before RM bring in a system to work out the chunks for the day. Only having no data for what's going where for manual letters and flats is preventing them from doing that.Londonsburning wrote: ↑09 Mar 2025, 10:26Because as delivery OPGs we have been underpaid for a long time for the work we do. Delivery should be paid the most as it's the hardest job in RM. Processing OPGs should be paid minimum wage as it's a piece of piss, if they don't know where something is supposed to go they just chuck it in a York to any random DO.
Also probably only a matter of time before RM bring in the widespread use of owner-drivers. Probably only a matter of time also before the lorry work, at least RDC/Superhub <> RDC/Superhub and MC <> RDC/Superhub runs get contracted out, no costs then of maintaining a fleet of vehicles.

Exactly my point, just a doom and gloom merchant that posts worst case scenarios at every opportunity, very strange behaviour.TopperGas wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025, 22:37What do you gain from posting this nonsense when you don't even work in deliveries?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025, 13:13Probably within 10 years we'll have been replaced by a combination of automation and agency/casuals.

Re: Pay deal negotiations ?
MCs will be affected more than DOs. You should be worrying about if RM do the same as in Denmark, if that happens then it'll be it for non-driversTopperGas wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025, 22:37What do you gain from posting this nonsense when you don't even work in deliveries?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025, 13:13Probably within 10 years we'll have been replaced by a combination of automation and agency/casuals.

Re: Pay deal negotiations ?
Have you not seen what’s being piloted right now ? What’s happened in Denmark is irrelevant, stop worrying about what might happen 5/10 years down the line because none of us know , especially you.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑12 Mar 2025, 17:25MCs will be affected more than DOs.

Re: Pay deal negotiations ?
The new owner will probably make massive changes across the business as soon as he can. They'll be looking for savings wherever they can find them, they won't care if the savings come from DOs or MCs, both will have targets on their backs.chickenwittle wrote: ↑12 Mar 2025, 18:40Have you not seen what’s being piloted right now ?

That’s nothing new , savings and cost cutting was the reason we ended up in dispute a few years back , that will never change.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑12 Mar 2025, 18:54The new owner will probably make massive changes across the business as soon as he can.
