They have not hired a full time postie since 04 in our depot. They also have to change their runs around every month. They also get three to four full covers of junk mail every week, and always have. We don't have enough posties so there is always two runs that are split up every day and have been since I started there three years ago. but I have not instructed for a while and am out of staff. I am an instructor as well and do a little Q ride stuff so I have young kids coming through that like to do it. And most times I can get someone to work.

But most of them are so sick of Aus post by the time they leave they wont have a thing to do with it and we cant get anyone to help out. And if we are sick or need a holiday we have to find someone who can do it for us. Because the runs are not profitable enough for Aus Post. Any run beside usually the CBD of a town or city is done by a contractor. And they can charge me what ever they like for someone to do my run in that time. And then have to pay them for someone else to do my job for three months or untill the contract is taken on by someone else. I could not get anyone to work for me so bad luck basically. I had to go out yesterday in extreme weather conditions with a huge gash in my calf muscle. They are contracting out most runs these day. It is just ridiculous and no other company could get away with it. Most posties have to explain why they are late. Most contractors do an hour a day for nothing. estimated time outs (out of depot) and estimated time of return. This comes back to it being all timed and that is all you are paid for. You are not meant to go oever 10k an hour but you are timed at 10k an hour. A frame that wraps around you so when you are out delivering you just grab the next letter for the next box. You get all your mail for your run and then you have to sequence it. In the right spot at the right time to even stay on as a casual. They promise full time but you have to be extremely good or lucky. Uses them for their three month pobation and then gives them the flick.
