Don't know why people are under the impression that they'd get the Mon-fri working week if got rid of letters. You'd still be in work regardless, you'd just be doing parcels instead of it. 🤷

They trialled it during covid I’m sure with all the parcels we were doing and ended up us cutting off every other day as the workload over the 5 days too much

As a general rule, if something is good for RM shareholders and executives, it is very bad news for the workforce and customers.

Careful what you wish for.

Well it will not work that way someone will do Saturdays if they like it or not you will have a roster and the mail that does not go out saturday will be done by the people during the week. And 18% job losses and if your very lucky you may not have to do eight Saturdays on the bounce!

It would give all the people looking to leave the business a chance to go with a few quid in their pocket.

About time his reign as the organ grinder ended more like!

People agreeing need to get a grip this won't mean Monday to Friday jobs just loads more people getting pushed out of the business!

Then more crap for all of us that are still left 🤬
