5 day week deliveries!!

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Im up for working monday to friday 7-3 if it means getting rid of of jobs so be it.
I know that a few more thousand jobs may have to go but hopefully for those like myself who have been with RM for years will be ok.
My only concearn will be what kind of contract will we be on in a few months time and what kind of salary we will have ....
Future is looking grim .

bring it on mon-sat cant wait

What you have it now and you want 6 day weeks

i am all for mon to friday deliveries who wants to be out there till 3 on saturday if it means job losses so be it union should have listened and did more to get rid of saturdays during the dispute

Nail on head

f**k off! I want my 4 day week,feck the 5 days only shite!
4 day week is much better than every sat off,imo anyway.

Thats your oppinion,am i alone in saying i have far better things to do on a Saturday than get up at 4am in the f,kin morning,and feel like shite for the rest of the bleeding day?

I presume ( for both of you ), if MON-FRI deliveries do come in, you will be running to your respective DOMs with a letter giving a week's notice in your hands? BTW, I look forward to your response to my enquiry

we've only just got our 6 days 3 week on one week off

I don't want a 5 day week

I would love a Mon - Fri service if I am being selfish but I have to ask the question

Is the price worth it:

Agreed,but the job i took nearly 13 years ago,we started at 5am and we were done by 10.30 tops,now i know times are changing........ but im f,ckd if i want to work till 3pm on a Saturday.

In all honesty the Saturday *isnt* the issue with me........its the time they want us to work till.

Lets be honest lads/ladies weve all got lives to lead/families etc etc out of that place.


All the time they are telling us the volume of mail is dropping,its a complete load of codswallop,

Why,a few years ago did we get 2 van deliveries of mail,and now we are seeing 3,4 and sometimes 5 (per day).
Why,a few years ago was i taking 4 bags of mail out 5 (tops) on a busy day,and now i am taking 7 on a normal day,i had 9 one day last week.

if they tell you something so many times you tend to start believing it,not me.

Saturdays off would be welcomed by our colleagues of certain religious faiths.

and you took the job on a 5 day/week basis,not 4.

Well he actually took it on a 6 day/week basis like most of idiots that have spent/wasted half of our lives working for this company.

The question begs,*if* i was a colleague of certain faith,would i be entitled to have every Saturday off work?,because its against said religion to work on a Saturday??

And,with the help of agreements and the CWU i now work one day less than a lot on here.
My home life and finances have improved in the 15 years i have been here.
I also work harder which is not a problem.

There are ways to get more time out of the job if people work hard enough to sort them out.

All depending on who you are,favouritism is huge in our office.........you try getting that Saturday off you so desperatly need,not a chance!!!

Im owed 3 days in annual leave and 3 times ive tried to book them,and 3 times ive been refused........its a total shambles,an absolute disgrace,only to find out someone else in the office has been granted them,ive actually given up.
