Working in a loud, busy factory-style environment, you'll be standing for long periods of time, segregating the mail by machine or by hand and bundling it into the correct bags so it can be delivered to the correct addresses.
You must be able to lift and carry mailbags and boxes weighing up to 11kg and push containers weighing up to 250kg. You'll also need to be flexible and adaptable as you are likely to undertake several different tasks in one shift.

Please note, once our maximum number of applications has been reached, this vacancy will be withdrawn.
- the irony is that the reason why the Unions became powerful in Liverpool was due to people having to be lined up and chosen - similarily the Teamsters Union and their Ilk fought back at the " people at the gates " jibes in the States - or even the Railway Unions when a driver could be sacked if the steam train made a Director's white hankerchief dirty when he wiped it on the engine - that attitude resulted in general strikes 
- they never , never ever learn :lfo :cfo :mfo
