Royal Mail ( No payrise since 1996)

daveboy

With the D2D stuff, rather than wasting time trying to stop it, just post it in your local post box when you are next able to.

Play them at their own game. You post it through my letter box, I'll put it back in one of yours. Easy, and you don't need a stamp!

Edited to add: Low and behold some came through the door this morning....as for the OP...when the Royal Mail actually does what it should do for the public, instead of cutting back everywhere and delivering crap through my door...then I might actually care.

I only use it because there is no other choice and I am all for private companies coming in, instead of a monopoly that wastes tax payers money and is run by a bunch of idiots.

If the OP had a clue he'd know that the union deals with it....says a lot if he's been with Junk Mail for 7 years.

That would be considered flytipping I should imagine, and you can expect a hefty fine if/when caught

Yet companies are legally allowed to dump their unwanted junk mail in our homes. Double standards here methinks! Can we not fine them?

well for RM you are given an opt out.
if its a huge issue for you(and i dont mean any sarcasim here)
consider removing your delivery point eg letterbox and organsing a mail collect from your delivery office
anyone non RM wont have a point of delivery to deliver to
with RM you have the option to opt out as ive linked to

Surely it should be an opt in?! Plus, Royal Mail never put anything through my door detailing how to stop getting the sh!te they put through the door.

Custardy, I have a special manure delivery service. I will keep putting it through your letterbox everyday until you find some obscure opt-out form on the internet (when you may not have the internet in the first place). I think you want manure, so that makes it perfectly ok for me to shove it through your letterbox, and you haven't opted out yet so you *MUST* want it.

An opt in would be better don't you think?

custardy

who would pay for that?
get real ,RM's a business.you know the one people moan about should provide this that and the other.
where do you think the money comes from?
the 2nd class stamp to take a letter from London to Aberdeen?
you get a free method of opting out,call RM's customer services and you can get the same info
RM deliver(at present from the 1996 agreement) 3 items per week
so thats it.
i can tell you i get over 20 items a week of junk through my door.
competition is high in the sector,why? because it still generates sales from those receiving the stuff

I work for Royal Mail as a postman and have done so for nearly 7 years.
Although we've had rises in our wages over those years, we have never had an increase in payment for the door to door items (unaddressed leaflets) that we have to deliver. According to an ex union rep the payment for these haven't gone up since 1996.
These are in addition to our wages but we dont have the option of not delivering them. If you are on a walk duty then it is your responsibility to make sure they are delivered by the end of your shift each friday.
As we dont have the option of not doing them, then shouldn't this be part of our wages and therefore be part of the wage rise and not overlooked for 12 years.
I'd be very greatful if anyone has the knowledge to help me with this before i approach my employer..

Thank you..

You are asking on a public forum this question when you lay yourself open to the world and his wife to have a pop at you. Go to your local union rep and not have an open debate about it. If I was one of your colleagues I would seriously feel let down you needed to ask advise from the public on the best way forward.

not all offices have regular access to a decent rep
perhaps the OP was asking for more generic information to the situation.
why should the OP not be able to try and source information?

@ the OP,should be info filtering through from a D2D meeting held on the 13th
i doubt it will be good news though
