We thought you were.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Dont really think you need to worry about a Strike.
Withh all RM plans at present we are heading for meltdown simply by doing as Management tell us.
Within 3 months their will be total chaosas.
How can any one be expected to do a 4 hour walk,wich we will assume takes 4 hours,D2D to every House as according to RM it hardly takes any longer at all going to every house!

Then on top of this you will be expected to deilver all specials and Tracked Items,and oversize within your Delivery time.Also this 4 hours will include refuelling and anything else they can think of.

RM -Managers fall into 2 groups,those who have never done a walk in their life,and the few who do are either too scared or Stupid to voice concerns.
Rm Plans will not work on any level,either the Human Elelement being physicaly able to do the job or the operational side in the time spans,delivery methods and Geo Routing.

As for Striking ,you had best ask RM Personnell Dept ,I Undestand the CWU have now merged with RM and are a division of personnell.
With the heads of the CWU and the managers at all levels of RM you know your in safe hands! melt down here we come!

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
