Overtime

[lankeela]

If workers go on strike are they then paid overtime to catch up with missed work? On Sunday there were quite a few Royal Mail vans driving around my home area - would this be paid as overtime in which case they would more than make up for time lost on strike?

I guess it would depend on how urgent the management was to clear a backlog and what they agreed with the workforce. Working to rule might have problems.

Not all staff are striking

Not everyone employed by RM will be on strike - if they are happy to work overtime - I don't see the issue.
Sunday was a strike day.

Does RM pay enhanced rates for working Sundays? That used to be common practice but not so much these days.

Perhaps this answers my question!

I was shocked to learn that Royal Mail now deliver parcels on a Sunday. I thought that it was Saturday or Monday when I received a parcel last Sunday (I never know what day it is at the best of times).

I don't know if it has anything to do with the strikes, however lately Royal Mail employees have been getting about in Enterprise rental vans.

Very unlikely. The DM exists to spread Tory propaganda. And is aimed at the hard of thinking. Feeding tidbits of half truths to the gullible.
