We've had a full office for years - now there's 4 or more thinking about leaving

How long is it going to take to implement....

Is Royal Mail and the CWU going to take an age working out which duties will go together in a 4. Which duties remain singletons. Which duties get reduced in size to create new duties.... have any of these decisions already been made?

I hope they answer this in their CWU live later.

Whispers that a plan is already in place for our office, time will tell how true that is

Already in ours, having re-pick now. New duties gone up and told it's coming in end aug begin sept.

New duties ? how have the duties changed ?
Apart from the changes to how often 2c etc is delivered, did you get a revision to change the duties .

Duties have changed by getting bigger and have been evened out best as possible, they're all up on the board for everyone to see so when they pick they know exactly what they are picking like on a map. Don't know about 2c. Singletons have had or seem to have had the most added to them.

Repick is pretty much nearly done and as said been told end aug begin sept it will be in and was told that last Monday as it was my pick.

There's no rotating the duties, we thought the 3 people would be rotated weekly but it's same 1 person in one van and same 2 people in other van.

DPR drivers not been included.

No new or old removed duties have been added.

In our office it will literally be 3 people doing 4 peoples work 50/50 per day.

So vote was pretty pointless as from what it seems in our office it was done deal.

It all seems oddly well organised if it's not being brought in until later this summer in your DO.

“As this agreement has now been confirmed, the 3% pay rise for old contracts will be paid on the 5th of June for weekly paid workers and by 30th of June for monthly paid workers”


They told us the 3% pay rise was a separate agreeement and not linked to the result of this ballot. Nice to be told barefaced lies by the union.

Well there was never any logic in withholding the agreed pay rise if it wasn't link to a yes vote.

They been selling it to us for 6 months or more so it will be well organised if they've known about it for at least that long. They came in months ago and changed the fittings to vertical prep and added the colour coding thing to the fitting months ago. Oh and fittings have been moved around some weeks ago so they all tie up with how the new walks are paired.

Like I said I picked last Mon and i'm roughly half way down list of picks and the new duties in the form of maps are up for people to see what has been added and removed. Then the repick is Singles, Covers, single van driver and pairings (3 people, 4 duties). We were told that they would rotate the 3 people on 4 duties so everyone has a go at walking and driving but they changed their mind for some reason.

Based on how all this has happened in our office at least i'm surprised anyone thought the vote actually mattered.

DM26 says that staff will have their own duty whereas ODM was working in groups. One of the few plus points

Shows you how much attention I was paying then.

[Pfrizzy10]

Possibly more days off during the week? More Saturdays off?
Yes please

does anyone think the vote was legit?? something strange i voted no, but only was given a qr code to scan and one vote, so wheres this 2 different votes coming from with different yes percentages,makes me wonder

The 'newbies' had the second vote.

[funkflex55]

Who the hell votes yes for doing an extra 33 percent work in return for what? The 3 percent pay rise that was agreed last year and that marches inflation so isn't actually a pay rise.

How the heck is it 33% extra work if the offices trialling this, or who have already started this way of working are clearing.

They must have had it easy before this if they had 33% less work, must have been going home 2 and a half hours early.

This said....

Is Martin not giving us all the details...

He's saying Manchester South East and Shepperton have been clearing with these changes....

if they are clearing on overtime then he's selling us a lie. He's telling us that they cleared with the changes with no overtime?

Some of us don't do excess.

All of the offices that have already started should be clearing. They're operating the new model but they have extra staff to mop up any excess. Once the staff levels are corrected then it will be 33% extra work for those left.

The bit about rotating the 3 people on 4 duties is incorrect. There's no rotation to do. 2 people work as a van share and 1 on their own. They all drive unless a non driver is paired on the van share.

Did you actually read what you were voting on?how would it not be legit?

[postmanplod2026]

so only newbies had the second vote so might explain the yes vote to make sure its a yes vote no exactly fair is it, should be asking all the staff

The second vote was for newbies to accept or reject there (extra) 1.75%..why would legacy staff get a vote on that.
