As if with what's going on that's at the top of the important list, it's nothing more than a gimmick to get the troops back on board.

What about the 4th emergency service, who's going to deliver all that important medical equipment?

It's not as if we can go anywhere, see anybody or do anything.

Best thing the CWU can do is get the hour off that they and RM agreed two years ago till they agree that they can talk to the hand!

If you mean a Monday to Friday it's the opposite of what we're needing.
We want to limit the number of people in a DO not increase it by having everyone on the same day off.

With many DOs falling behind anyway, what about having some do IPS and walk prepping during the night?

We currently have three plus the DOM doing all the sorting & prep all walks plus do some parcels etc. Then everyone else comes in later and delivers a walk plus some of other walks to comply with social distancing etc.
Not enjoying it and wouldn't want to do all outdoor work on a permanent basis. I would end up going to my grave much earlier.

doubt they have a say in the matter, they can suggest it as an idea and see if the 2 parties involved are willing to agree, but can't demand it
