Still carrying on to this day.
Spot on. This all started in 2020 when the CWU forced postal workers out into the pandemic because dangerous work was Terry Pullinger's preference over furlough. Whilst he sat in his home doing nothing. The pandemic paved the way for what's happening today. Profits over lives, over jobs.

RM's hands were probably tied by the USO and the Postal Services Act. Also RM would have probably lost lots of contracts to rivals, would you rather have lost your job?

I'd rather stay at home and be furloughed, stuff the customers and the relentless greed.

Probably would've been paid furlough instead of losing jobs. Don't forget the old chestnut of 'fourth emergency service' being banded around for delivery staff...

I've speculated as to whether the emergency situation allowed the company cover to run an experiment on alternate day delivery and whether the years of data that would have been logged under relaxed regulatory conditions brought them to this proposed model, which is merely a formalisation (de facto becomes de jure).
What I would ask is: we've been doing this for five years so aren't the savings already being made? It can hardly be from dodging any more fines from Ofcom - the company has already made clear a few million here and there means nothing.

The "new" model is not being run nationwide, I don't believe any offices in my area are only delivering post on alternative days, even if some duties are not being delivered daily.
Regardless of the takeover I assume both parties agree on what the minimum pay rise they could offer, that being the case why don't they just pay it on a temporary measure until the takeover is complete or DK withdraws his offer?

And there we have it. Still the adherents of the CWU believe that deadly work was preferable to furlough.

Please explain how the cwu forced people to work.
The CWU agreed to the chaos that swept through workplaces.which has continued to this day. Pullinger threw postal workers under the bus and had the gall to justify it as preferable to furlough.

Sat at home, on them zoom calls telling us all about the 'fourth emergency service' whilst not having to do what we did. The CWU showed itself up for what it is - pro-company, anti-worker.
