The Post Office has released a list of some of the Spanish practices currently in force in postal sorting offices. Read them and weep:
* Two or three hour minimum daily overtime - so if 30 minutes of actual work is required and completed, then between two and three hours' payment is demanded;And so on. And on. And on...
* An additional allowance claimed for using particular vehicles - regardless of whether the individual has actually driven the vehicle;
These aren't working practices, they're fraud.

Ah, the 70s.
I'm amazed that these practices have survived this long. I came across this sort of thing on the railway when I joined BR in 1991. They went with privatisation - and not before time. Walking allowance may have made sense when signalmen really did have to walk from one location to another, but by the time the practice went, fraud, frankly, described it accurately.
