Van Share

Post by islfor »

Can a town walk be classed as a rural if given a van ?
Walks are on a 3.5hr delivery span & rurals not.
The proposal for this year is amalgamate 2 Town walks with a van, 2 posties then deliver both walks plus parcels for those walks also thrown in for good measure 40mins extra walk from another walk which they are desperate to absorb.

Sound like the proposed 4.5 hour delivery span they are trying to get through the back door. Speak to your union rep,

All our convey duties are to go by September to make way for van sharing, I think there are still 9 or 10 convey duties in my office, each bus has a minimum of 5 posties including the driver, so that works out we will need another 25 small vans, don't know where they will find space to park them its chaos already due to lack of parking space :crazy: We already have a number of walks that van share, I guess they staggered all this so the office would'nt need a resign
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

i wouldn't of thought so, unless you hit someone on their way home with some shopping and a carrot gets stuck in the grill.
Confused... You won't be, after the next episode of. SOAP
