7-3 ... pah...already doing that for last 2-3 years.

Managers told us 2 weeks ago that come the intro of walk sequencing machines in our office this August, we'll be going to 9-5 or 10-6!!!!

Is our license not up for renewal with government in 2011? This could potentially pave the way to Mon to Fri working. :crosses fingers:

How would that be good for us? Jobs would go in both MCs and DOs and walks would be heavier in all DOs and would probably be longer as well. Besides I think that the Saturday deleivery is part of the USO so RM can't drop them.

Our MC is due to have the walk sequencing machines up and running by the end of the year and have been told that we have to despatch to the DO's by 9am.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Yes, I understand that. Purely from a selfish point of view I would happily work my 40 hours a week Mon to Fri. Maybe they could do that just for me, and get a casual to do my round on a Saturday!
