Proposal is probably the wrong word, an idea is floating around about stopping Saturday deliveries. The rumour apparently started by a senior official at Postcom and some nationals and periodicals apparently have picked up on it.

I think in the past both RM and CWU have been opposed to it.

They've been talking about stopping saturday deliveries since before i started with RM, people in my office with much more service than i have say roughly the same thing, it hasn't happened yet and i don't see it happening any time soon.
