They are clearly stating that nothing has been decided and it's up to Ofcom. This was dated 2 days ago.
None of this should be implemented further than the trial/pilot offices until they get the go ahead which they haven't.

Re: LTB 075/25 - Update on USO Pilot Sites
That Ofcom reponse is mostly just annoyance that their phone has been ringing off the hook since these letters went out. Now they have to stay in the office till five. Plenty more disgruntled callers-to-be out there whose USO letters have yet to leave the frame!
The machine stops.

Re: LTB 075/25 - Update on USO Pilot Sites
AYR. USO pilot
Since pilot started over month ago cleared on 1 occasion
With the use of o-time and extra staff on a TUE
3 mech trays every day for core duties
(Where has all this mail come from )
D2D not being prepped delivered within time spec
Being rolled on to following week(s) and with those following weeks D2D added
Frames all have doubled slots no room to prep mail all jammed in
Bags on delivery too heavy with mail no room for packets to be delivered with mail
More pressure on drivers
1st class mail and tracked failing every day
2nd class failing every day
Sat 1st class mail increasing in volume unable to clear
Packets unable to clear
Mental health issues due to unachievale workloads
And pressures to try and complete
3 staff have walked out in tears
1 staff asking for hours to be reduced to PT cant cope with demands
Duty of care ????
RM h&s have visited as well as senior cwu officials
Nothing done
This will be rolled out everywhere over summer
Re of ofcom input they as well as us being disregarded
And this is light time of year

This has to be stopped. The whole point of having a trial is to find out if an idea works. This clearly doesn’t work.hans solo wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 10:32AYR. USO pilot

Re: LTB 075/25 - Update on USO Pilot Sites
I find that very hard to believe. On a normal day if you exclude any bulk postings getting released by the DTS after hitting the time limit, across all the batches on my CSS I think there's only about 2 or maybe 3 walks which will get 3 trays of mech (both waves combined). Even when the USO changes kick in, you won't really get much of an increase as the 5 day limit still applies and any 2C for a DP that has a 1C item will still be released. No changes to the DSA either. Whatever is released by the machine is due for delivery.

The pilot method condenses several walks. So it isn’t one standard walk suddenly receiving 3 trays, it’s a condensed version.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 11:17I find that very hard to believe.

Re: LTB 075/25 - Update on USO Pilot Sites
Depends on the office because some have walks with a low number of drops on each walk as their starting point, but another office could have 800 drops or more per walk. So if you take four or five walks and make them three walks, you have instantly increased the mech for each.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 12:09How many walks are combined into each "new walk"?Barnacle wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 11:38The pilot method condenses several walks.

Re: LTB 075/25 - Update on USO Pilot Sites
But but but this can’t be true, I watched Martin Walsh glumly look into the camera on Friday and say some of the pilots have landed successfully. Then Ward followed up by saying stuff written online is just “keyboard warriors” and that people he meets in the real world are very polite to him and treat him like the king he is in his own mind.hans solo wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025, 10:32AYR.

Now either these two are a pair of complete sell out frauds gliding towards their bloated pensions or people are constantly pretending that they work in the trial offices and are posting about what a s**t show it all is for a laugh on every social media platform form. I know which one I think is more likely….
