Current Working Practices?

Post by postslippete »

Still one to a van. Bit weird that I've seen coppers paired up in panda cars together, and this afternoon spotted two blokes working in a Curry's van offloading a sofa. They might be a couple for all I know.

Im sure some hire van companies are open now. Guess Royal Mail don't feel obliged to use them if staff are working the evenings using the existing vans. Sod the customers though as they don't know if posties are going to be delivering at 7pm or not at all.

Imagine if it's like this by Xmas!!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Its avoid sharing a van IF POSSIBLE TO DO YOUR JOB without doing so

We can so therefore we dont share a van - what dont people get?
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I think the top brass are chomping at the bit to get us back to pairing up in the vans with a full track & trace, daily testing regime prior to commencement of deliveries. They can't carry on with the situation the way it is long term.
