Casual Relief Box Sorter (Current Employee) – Victoria Park WA – 15 July 2018
Waking up in the early hours of the morning and going to work was tiring. especially in winter because the sun wasnt up yet but you had to focus and get all the mail out before 8am.

SubContractor (Former Employee) – Adelaide SA – 2 July 2018
I have been working in Australia post as a sub contractor from five and half years but work conditions have been gone from worse to worst. There was paid waiting time for express if it’s late but now they expand the time from 7am to 8.30am even some times says strait no to pay for the waiting time regardless of time. Not a single cent paid for sorting parcels, arranging them and loading them in van which takes at least 4 hours in the morning. Poor behaviour of staff make it worse.There is no increase in pay when they add capturing photos of all the safe drop parcels and cards left for customers to collect parcels but takes more hours of subcontractors . As a result poor service of delivery and in affective communication with customer is increasing day by day.
