Your spot on!!!

CWU originally wanted start times to be based on the reality of mail arrivals in delivery offices, but gave in to the 6am to 6.30 am start times. We should have stood our ground on that as basing start times onmail arrivals into D.O'S makes perfect sense.

Im my office people come in early, which proves that a earlier time that 6am to start is viable and shows why we (CWU) should have stuck to our guns! Walksorted mail is on hand by 0530 am and having a duty structure for IPS duties that is prep the walksort for the first 30 mins of duty then do IPS. Alternativley if the IPS bods ran out of work they could have done their walk sort untill the next van arrives.
There you go again, talking sense, you know if you keep making these kinds of ideas you'll NEVER end up in management :crazy: :nervous

At least not to front line ops management!!!

When I was 16 and a postal cadet the idea of managemnet seemed great, but royal mail is vastly changed since those days and I wouldnt touch front line ops mangement with a barge pole.

I would like to try a different job within RM at some point before the next 22 years.
