USO Change Implementation

Near a week since ballot no dates.

A lot of the offices with high tracked numbers are very much 'once over the ground' type of units, with little to no DPR or LAT routes.

It's literally everything for that whole area crammed into 1 van.

And the s**te that Amazon dump on us because their algorithms from previous deliveries have told them it's down a long farm track, difficult to identify or awkward to get their massive vans down a tight lane. More profitable for them to give that to us so they can deliver (doorstep) 20 parcels on a residential street in the time it would take them to do one farm delivery.

Yeah agreed.

But people must notice the difference in volumes simply by seeing pictures of other offices on Robin etc. There’s places still using small grey sacks to sort parcels into, whilst others have sleeved yorks - plural - full. Not to mention the changing from single to double slots that has been common in some places for 10-15 years but only a new thing elsewhere.

I have had well over 200 across our van shares (inclusive of our oversized) on numerous occasions, at xmas it probably isn't a million miles off 300.

Mid December I would have very nearly 100 Tracked myself and my partner would have the same in parallel, and a full york of T48s would be sitting in the office. So, yeah, 300 is very plausible. Just a few days ago some duties were approaching 200. Not a chance they could introduce Summer Lapsing now.

I don't think anybody realises at RM or the CWU that double or triple mail isn't as easy to post as a single days mail, there's more to it than just an increased call rate.

Yep, especially when a frame has over 1,000 calls and is nearly all double slots, staff have an uncanny knack of putting the letters in the wrong place which means you are either going backwards and forwards down the street or flipping through the bundle and correcting it on the fly so you don't have to.

As for D2Ds, I know a few staff put them ALL in the frame before the start of the week. I really don't know how they find the time.
