Our mail center was full to the brim for dayshift/late - over 30 yorks left over

as for night shift same plenty left over - around 20 yorks.

Main problem we have seen was tracked 24 (gold spots) mixed in with normal packets and specials all over the place, and please dont get me started on missorts :arrrghhh

Mine was chaos yesterday, you couldn't move for work and equipment. For all the talk of agency staff having this covered, I've no idea what they done.

Would you honestly expect them to make out anything else? These strikes are having an effect on other couriers, they can't cope with the displacement. I suppose we can always look to that photo of a cleared office, posted by a manager as proof tho.

Hahahaha you won’t be on that. If ours was anything to go by. It was a total utter shitshow yesterday. I spent 2 hours trying to rectify mistakes on an imp. A total embarrassment to any sort of standard we pretend to have. A joke

If it's going to be that bad then they'll probably have us send all the mech as manual and have all iLSM and CSS staff on Tracked and normal packets (maybe any mech staff who are also SD locker trained in the SD locker)

Always worked in a delivery office so no idea how it works further up the chain. If you send mech as manual does that mean it’s for us to sort? If so even better as we still have Saturdays flats sitting there along with god knows how many yorks of small packets😂

Yep. If lates are able to run the outward then that'll be at least down to batch level, otherwise it'll all go manual. Either way it'll have to go over to the IPS frames when it arrives at the DO. We're not allowed to hold any mail back
