[Rommagic]

What are the options with trails?
2 in 5 Saturday offs.
What are the other I think 6 options?.

Thanks.

The options will be limited by things like start times, last letter time, final arrival time, FT/PT mix and non drivers.

I wouldn't set your mind on anything yet.

All non-drivers will be floats/reserves regardless of seniority, trust me.

My basic maths worked out that 90-95% of the office needs to perform driving work to open up all the available options. I guess we will find out when instead of the 7 options we get presented with 2 or 3 on a 'take it or leave it' basis.
It's pretty unfair to have the major selling point of this new way of working - up to 2 out of 4 Saturdays off - not available across the board. 2 out of 5 seems a pipe dream too.

floaters and reserves for who?

They can only do non driving duties

I know Royal Mail are clueless but even they aren't stupid enough to put the non-drivers where they are of least use.
Trust me.

Is there a difference between singleton van duties and rural duties when it comes to this new way?

We have a few bona fide Rural duties, who appear to be going to be left as they are, 6 day delivery of all items. However, we also have quite a few singleton duties that have maybe 45 minutes worth of Rural on them, at the edge of villages etc. The rest of the duty is full on suburbia. Is there a threshold of what makes a duty Rural?

Trust me.

You might be lucky enough to get an HCT duty, if they still exist by then.

But you'll still be doing the whole 3 people covering 4 walks or whatever it is.

OH! also if your a non driver you'll be doing the walks that have double mail......everyday.

WATCH THIS SPACE.

There is no plan, they are just making it up as they go along. All sounds silly to me but what do i Know, i’m just someone to blame when it all goes tits up
