Sequencing machine news (or not)

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Thing is with walk sequenced mail have they even thought of the H&S implications. We all know how your shoulders ache if you have to put D2Ds into the top row of a frame whats it going to be like when you get a sequenced run for the top row.

Planning without looking for drawbacks means failure of system.

Failure to see pitfalls means pitfalls make you fail or perhaps Fail to Plan properly means you plan to fail.

It's possible that RM are planning on greatly increasing the number of part-time delivery staff and walk sequenced mail is an aid to that end; Y'know, mums after the school run and so on...then again, considering the current preoccupation with meeting targets while using less and less staff, the idea that they have any firm long term plans is doubtful.


You have hit the nail on the head there mate.
RM just want bag carriers like they do abroad with a nucleus of worked to death full-timers p____d off with their jobs inside.
Always be one step ahead, play their game but be wiser. Revenge is sweet.
