USO update

What’s happening with LATs?

[kazardaimenu]

How can the CWU agree to this when it means QOS will hit the floor in every office using this method. Without smaller duties like was promised at the start this system will collapse.

Problem is they will make the trials work but will be realistically unachievable once we are all doing it and the bullying managers will want frames clear

That’s what I’m thinking. There go my subs if they agree to this!

Next Xmas will be fun

Don’t work OT

Work for poverty wages....don't work O/T. Pick one

They are supposed to be looking at o/t rates in the forthcoming pay ‘deal’- yeah right.

There'll be no OT when this comes in and you have to work your full hours - dock pay if you sign out early on PDA
So who's gonna work OT at Xmas for a few weeks

What’s happening with LATs?

I can't see LATs will change as somebody still as to deliver them, although like collections if posties are all working later then they will no longer be able to help out, unless they want to work late into the evening. All the vans will be getting back even later, something else the business probably hasn't even considered.

The LATs are here to stay. Although our normal packets and parcels have reduced a little bit, the LAT numbers haven’t dropped since October, though loads and loads of rural ones make for a nice scenic afternoon drive with the only real “traffic” being a slow-moving tractor. Gotta love the job sometimes!

Ah Smooth nice to read a pleasant non legacy blaming statement from you.
I have to agree, i have always enjoyed a nice scenic jaunt delivering parcels in the country and down the coast, weather helps but as long as you can see the views it's a winner. Even the tractor adds to it.

How would rural deliveries be affected by this new method?

Rural duties staying the same apart from sat/mon
Sat 1st class and packets on 1 and 1/2 rural duties
So bit busier on the mon
Lot of regular drivers going to lose their duties in a resign

So if you live in the sticks you'll get a better postal service than if you live near a DO in a large town or city, only RM could come up with this type of plan, plus apart from Monday's a rural posties work load will stay exactly the same, whereas a non rural postie will have to deliver double or more post every single day of the week, apart from Saturdays.

Led by monkeys.
You could honestly come up with a dozen reasons why none of this makes any common sense.

[postmanzach]

sorry i missed it but when they say “equalise pay terms and conditions” for the new contracts what does that mean?

I know it's ridiculous I thought the uso one price anywhere service was introduced so the expensive places to deliver to were subsidised by the profit from the 'easy' places so now because they can't think of any sensible option they're considering delivery almost as normal to the expensive to get to addresses

What happens at Easter?.
