i work in the dorset mail centre and got told tonight that the sun night/monday operation is going at the end of sept,all by
executive action,how many other mail centres have had this imposed?
Also 3 way sort coming in early oct and the end of road sorting

Glasgow for one. As of next week there are no full time duties due to attend the Sun into Mon shift. Some part time duties are still scheduled to attend but for how much longer, who knows. Oh, and all imposed through executive action.

Bradford Mail Centre is closing the operation but staff have been told that they have till January before changes effect them..
So we will have Saturday night staff in and the Sunday Monday night staff in with no work to do..

Believe it or not they were inundated with volunteers to work Saturday Night...
Do these people have a life?

what is 3 way sort ?

[SpacePhoenix]

what is 3 way sort ?

Basically two frames for all none local stuff and 1 for local stuff. With the two frames for non local stuff both have a pigeon hole for stuff for the other frame

[tcblue]

Would notbe able to sort like that on packets surely ?

In Canterbury sun night operation is ceasing in January. To be replaced with SA's and several duties on Sunday day, we are been told that is a national action plan. Apparently it is to save money, not sure how as surely Sunday SA's and 8 hr Sunday duties are going to cost more plus 3 years protected sunday premium for those losing sunday night duty. Been predominantly aimed at part time workers, suppose this is the future that Royal Mail want.
