Get ready folks... it's going to be 'we are losing £1.8 million per day' by the time we get to March.
"The mammoth loss would equate to nearly £1.8million per day as prolonged industrial action over the Christmas period took its toll and left piles of letters, cards and parcels undelivered"

This can’t be right because I saw numerous pictures of clear offices in the run up to Christmas and there was loads of backslapping about being unaffected by strike action.

When is someone going to look into how this mob are running us into the ground, NO office was cleared, just in the back of a wagon parked up somewhere. A fully staffed operation of mail centre and D/O postie's would have cleared it 100%, but RM didn't want that. Don't blame the strikes as you still had 5/7 days a week to work (efficiently of course) and clear the backlog.The worlds greatest postal service turned into a shambles, congratulations 👏

You can already see them laying the groundwork for using our refusal to just accept all their changes, as an excuse next time OFCOM investigates the ongoing failure of the USO. They’re so predictable it would be funny if not so depressing.

We cleared, the few days between Xmas and New Years we were scratching around for work a lot, we must have just about cleared all the RTS as well. It was dead on the mech, batch sizes were way down
