Yes, I acknowledged this in my earlier post of 16.55 - sorry to have you chase your tail.
They are allowed to refuse to deliver material under the conscience clause - which was why it was introduced.
By way of background / explanation.
"We have a national agreement with Royal Mail with a conscience clause which allows individuals to exercise their right to not deliver material which they find offensive or believe their customers may find offensive.
"It is not specific to any political party. We are protecting the rights of our members to be safe at work. Royal Mail has a responsibility to ensure the safety of their employees".
"We have had instances of delivery workers being threatened, chased and spat at for delivering some election leaflets. We will support individuals who feel strongly about delivering these items. Postal workers are well within their rights to refuse to deliver offensive material."

Yes ,i suspect that Roy Mayall is saying that they can't refuse to deliver junk mail is from the pespective of a persecuted postman/woman ,i also believe that there is a voluntary aspect to this type of mail delivery hence the comment on not being able to claim overtime if they take longer doing their normal round because they also have a bag of junk mail to deliver ,for which they are being paid extra
