Walks in the frames in delivery offices are rammed, and loads off full mail in boxes underneath the frames are rammed..

People are not getting post for weeks..

What he is saying is Royal Mail and IDS/GLS will go separate ways.

gls has a bad reputation for the way they treat there staff
I don't think there's much else behind the profitability of GLS. No brilliant business strategy - just wringing money out of the workforce. And we've been steered into crisis in order to implement that model.
The machine stops.

Our line managers have said several times in the past that 'we are now a parcel company that also delivers letters'. They first said this 2 years ago...

So it is nothing new for Thompson to say this as I guess it's a message that's been put out there for a while now....

That said, they have made it clear they see letters as a hindrance, but I just don't know to what extent. To the extent they would like to pass off the letter business to someone else, or to the extent that they want to spend as little time on letters as they can possibly get away with.
