Stop telling porkies, it is a booklet, here it is.
"How it works": Has that been substantiated by the pilots yet? :hmmmm
No because as we know the pilots are failing.

Their answers are completely unbelievable and at total odds with the real world at the dirty end of the business. I wonder at times if I live in a different universe to all the muppets outside of a DO.
They believe they are in the real world and it is you that is watching shadows on the cave wall. I think we've reached the point where two decades of garbage data has led to numerous fatal assumptions which look set, in a rational world, to render the ODM a non-starter. Though like any sociopath, it will be easier to make reality conform to their delusion than admit they are wrong.

I've yet to see this booklet, much as I would love to see it purely for the novelty of laying eyes upon any kind of evidence that some kind of coherent plan is actually being offered up.
It's not a booklet just a PDF print off off a screenshot from RM's presentation, the one showing "Eve"covering all the packets for 6 days. It's not even been updated to show "Eve" now swaps with "Ahmed" and the other posties to save in fatigue.

I was thinking yesterday whilst covering double post on a duty, aren't the CWU supposed to support their members if so, shouldn't they be speaking up saying covering double/triple post is not practical rather than seemingly agreeing it is possible to deliver so much post 5 days a week?

I guess that depends on your definition of a booklet for me a booklet is something with a few pages in it, not just one single sheet of paper.

Unfortunately the Workforce have no idea what is on the Horizon with this new way of working. Ostriche heads in the sand come to mind.
Most know it will mean delivering double post every day?
We had a meeting yesterday. Jaws dropped when non drivers were explained that they won’t be on the same duty everyday.

The most some people will have to do is rotate between 2 duties. I get that people don't want change, but in the grand scheme of things of whats coming in, that is no great hardship learning a different walk. Some will have to learn the driving and walking side over 4 different duties, others will need to learn most of the office.

Surely the bigger issue is delivering double or triple mail every single day?

You said it was just a PDF printed off, what I showed you was was a booklet / Info bit of paper left on every duty holders frame.
Are you still denying this Booklet / Info bit of paper is not real ?

If you have a non driver in a 3, it will be the non driver who rotates.

It'd work fine if staffed properly. It won't be; that's the issue.
