VRs

[endofdays1982]

Does anyone else no feel sorry for the older ones in the office that their is no such thing is an oldmans walk these days and no sign of VRs,

would have maybe thought the union would have pushed for older man walks for guys over a certain age and or is VRs a thing of the past??

Seniority system worked for decades.
Someone who has plodded the street for 40 odd years rightly ,deserves respect and an easier walk.

Unfortunately this job is becoming a young mans game, soon we will be walking 5 hrs +.

5 hrs + we do more than that now , but one of r/m top knobs best saying was , "there will be jobs for them that want to and can work for the company " , now to me that says it all about running people into the ground which they will do , give me a years wage and i would walk tomorrow but it wont happen .

Well these old guys are normally full timers earning more than the part timers and have easier walks at our place than the part timers! You could argue that they should have easier walks but it’s not fair seeing other people working on harder walks being paid less money, at the end of the day we are a business and need to act like one.

We have these at our place on these old guys stroll around taking 5 hours when a part timer does it in half the time

Been in the job 30 years , doesn’t mean I should have an easier duty than anyone else in my opinion.

Maybe so but do these PART TIMERS take there break before they go out, and probably come in early on OVERTIME in the morning? my guess is a big fat NO and i am not old but been in the job a few years seen them coming and going but at the end of the day people who our taking half this time to finish is F@@@@ the job up for everyone else and start moaning when stuff gets added on to a duty

Very true with some in our office in early bomb round delivery finish early job done.

The very fact there are easier & harder duties is ridiculous in the first place. They should all be made as equal as possible and then just down to personal preference.

[daveyeff]

the're supposed to be equal, but we all know they aren't. geo-route, planners, etc. bollox.

[Marshamp11]

Back in the day it was bad enough that there was a disparity of 15 to 20 minutes between some duties, now it can be be up to 2 hours of disparity in my office these days. But of course all duties are equal.

[koolishy67]

Duties are equal

[clashcityrocker]

Duties are equal

But some are more equal than others

Finishing very early?

I mentioned having easier duties for the older staff to our union rep. Waste of time, he wasn't interested. The only thing you can do is put as much money away as possible, then leave when it suits you. The union wont support their older members, so don't waste your time and energy. Go when you are ready, forget the extra money you might have earned. You might be crippled by then. BTW, I've done more than 30 years in delivery, so I understand only too well, when it's your time to go, go.
