Single duties
As far as I'm aware i'm going on a single duty and working on my own. How does DM26 work for single duties?

Re: Single duties
Every DO is different, as a minimum you'll do 50% of the whole duty each day plus all the 1c and Tracked on the other 50%. Plus what other work your COM decides you should also do.

Re: Single duties
I don't understand. A single duty seems like more work, as all the tracked and 1st class have to go. This new duty has 12 loops. So every day will be full mail for 6 loops, plus 1st class and parcels for ALL 12 loops.
I'm currently in a pod where I do 4 loops of mail and do all the parcels for those loops, plus parcels and first class for the other 5 loops. Then the next day I deliver all the mail and parcels for 5 loops and take the parcels and 1st class for 4 loops.
So what I'm being moved to seems like more work by comparison. I thought the union mitigated it to 4 loops of mail and 4 loops of tracked and 1st per person to make the workload more even.
