This will involve the posting of circa 26 million items across the UK with items due to start moving to Mail Centres and on to Delivery Offices on the 2nd 3rd and 4th March.
In addition arrangements will also need to be put in place at Mail Centres to be able to handle the despatch and return of the items especially with regard to the use of Flat Sorting Machines (FSM). A key part of Royal Mail winning the contract was the company’s ability to scan item barcodes on the FSM so that the Office for National Statistics know which addresses have replied.
It is important that CWU representatives engage with management at an early stage to ensure suitable arrangements are put in place to handle these items safely, securely and effectively.
