I earn approx £15 an hour.

So, if it meant helping the " team " or the " Business " would you take a pay cut from your £15 ( approx ) per hour to the minimum wage?
I think most post workers can only dream of being on £15 per hour.
So are you willing to back up your point with action?
The fact that the country is in the state it is does not justify any company doing what it wants to maximise profit at the expense of the worker.
Particularly making people redundant then spreading their work among the other workers, out of order, full stop.



" I use my own car for convey to my delivery round even though RM withdrew my travel allowance about 2 years ago its still faster than waiting for a van for convey as this can take up to 2 hours for which RM will not pay us as we are not technically working. "


ZrByte, reading the above leaves me wondering who needs to " modernise " the worker or the company?
Seems to me the company.
Lets look at it from this angle.
I take a job that involves the need for work to be dropped off at my workplace, I am on a shift of 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, the boss says, " sorry, the stuff will not be with you until 8, but I am only paying you from 8 "
Are there really people who support the above for the good of the Country? or the fact it will keep people in a job?
Another point, when you are taking the mail in your own car, were you to have an accident, are you covered under the companies insurance?
I suppose you only have say Fully Comprehensive Insurance on your car which is only meant for Social, Domestic and Pleasure !
