A very important #FourPillars update from DGSP Terry Pullinger

[Phantom]

The stark reality is that Royal Mail under Reco have used the Mckinseys consultants to review postal matters.

This has led to Royal Mail proposing that they want to engage the union in the following :

Parcel Separation which means parcels formatted at 3 & 4 would be concentrated on to circa 300 offices ie those who currently have LAT duties.

They would be sent to those circa 300 LAT units from 3 Parcel Hubs one in Warrington and one in Midlands and one in the South

The priority is for these larger parcels to be automated from just 3 parcel hubs meaning they by pass the inward mail centre

They want to increase productivity across the UK by introducing standards

They want to ensure all hours are paid by the use of PDAs, Resourcing , Automated hours data capture , Resource scheduler and by enhance flexibility

Ensure that attendance patterns allign to workload

This has all been outline to our National Officers and this is why there is an emergency motion being submitted by the Postal Executive covering some of the above.

The proposals are game changing and when you add this to the decision by of com to bring forward the review into the USO from 2022 to 2020 than there is a pattern forming ahead of Royal Mail"s capital markets day next month.

@dingo, what the hell are "format 3 and 4" parcels?

Will the outward MCs be properly segging the parcels so that there's no yorks or sleeves with a mix of large and small (very common now to get yorks with mainly smalls and sleeves with mainly large)? Will Tracked and normal parcels be properly segregated? Also will the outward MCs make sure that ALL the SDs goto their SD locker?

I've heard it's shoe box size and above that would go to LAT unit. But if RM are serious about this then the CWU want a 35 hour week straight away or it's industrial action.

The 35hr week has got no chance of happening in DOs when DOs are struggling to clear the work. If anything I think RM will make the working week longer in DOs

Our DO is not struggling, we are fully staffed, if parcels are removed from DO's then a 35hr is a must and will happen because that will be the trade off. Or RM face a strike, especially in DO's.

Isn't there a chance that RM will have your DO permanently loan staff to other DOs
