VR in pilot offices

[world class male]

In the CWU brief it stated that the pilot offices would have excess staff, hence the enhanced VR terms in those pilot offices

But it also suggests VR won't commence until OFCOM approves the changes, which won't be until at least the summer, so what do the surplus staff do in the meantime? It suggests using annual leave but who wants to risk using that then the changes being delayed or changed and you've up all your leave in the first half of the year?

they can't force you when to take your leave, 2wks spring/summer 2wks autumn/winter, the extra week or 2 should already be booked by now and cannot be reversed unless you agree to switch

What happens when customers get wise and send everything 1c the 2 walkers are going to have it well easy while the driver has a nightmare

That’s why RM are pricing 1st Class out of the market….. to stop people using it. That way people will only use 2nd Classs which makes it easier for them to manipulate the Mail

It still needs to be trialed before it is rolled out nationwide?

Thanks for the reminder. So does indeed mean 3 days mail on a Tuesday for the route that was done on the Friday previous. Also 3 days mail on Monday for the route that was done on the Thursday previous. The walks are that ridiculous, most cannot be done with 1 day of mail in them. This pilot is bollocks.

yeah, but I think most are speculating in practice how it would play out in an office with several different duty types, HCT, single driver rural, single driver urban, shared van.

I would hope I do as I’ve been doing this job for way over 20 years now. Why do you think I would have signed up to this site all those years ago if I wasn’t a postie? As you seem to be struggling, I didn’t say the plan was good, or would work (hence the quotes) but people speculating in here over what the plan would be when the plan was already announced, I thought it helpful to inform.

No struggling here unless you are aiming at my workplace in which case it is still mostly 10 plus trays of mail under frames and management hiding yorks full of packets daily still lol

Have you always been a postie in a DO or did you work in a mail centre before?

Oh I almost forgot the few thousand undelivered households per walk still stuck in the DO from the last month or two that keep getting returned by the MC because they don't want to deal with them. But yeah I'm sure your place is lickety split

If you mean d2d then MCs were instructed a while ago now that any excess/unused d2d returned by a DO are to be sent straight back to them.
