Lack of machinery and infrastructure?
Is it conceivable that any other firm would even contemplate buying X00+ machines and the premises to house them when paper mail is a dwindling market?
Add in the current and on-going credit squeeze and RM's spare capacity, and what would be the advantage?

That was a bit harsh.

:chuckle Sorry ,hands up ,me ,he is :chuckle Two years spouting that his MC is getting no work at all because according to RM and the CWU, DSA is stripping the workload and now all of a sudden DSA will be his saviour
Maybe I should have said inconsistent rather than KNOB . But then again it was more funny in context a year ago :roll:

Which units close will remain a closely guarded secret until after the ballot.

No body is going to vote for the agreement whent hey know that there office is for the chop and with it hundreds of job losses. This will mean we will be voting blind hoping its our comrades down the road who get it in the neck and not us, bloody brilliant. :evil/mad
I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

Just to refresh your (apparently poor) memory, I've never said my MC was "getting no work as DSA is stripping the workload" (unless you can show differently?)

;liar Sad, when posters feel the need to make it up as they go along though, as the whole RMC concept then becomes somewhat pointless.. :sad:

Ah but how much more sad when you have to re-write other folks posts to try to make a point.
You must see that there is no sense in my trying to prove something that I never said in the first place.
Profuse apologies for my poor memory, perhaps you could help me out with something. I've spent ages trying to remember the threads where you kept on about your MC struggling to cope with the constantly increasing workload, searched high and low I have but couldn't find a one of them. :wink:

Yep.... :wink:

And you won't, because my point has always been how mail volumes dropping has seen a dramatic loss in work at my place. Search for them instead, and it shouldn't be a problem to find them, moreso you seem to have "appeared" in them all.. :roll:
I've never mentioned DSA (unlike you ) as being the cause of collapsed shifts at my MC, because it isn't. The fixation with DSA is more of a DO postie thing, as mail is mail to a machine, and it really doesn't care where it originated from.. :wink:


So, what's it to be, a terminal case of CRAFT or a more artful rewrite of the past?

Good to see you agree on that point ,lets hope you manage to behave in future

Now we're getting somewhere.

Mail is mail to delivery posties too, but they do care because some mail pays the wages and DSA mail steals the cash from their pockets and their pensions,so you can understand their "fixation".
Back to the point in question. Given the fact that both the union and RM are claiming that the growth in DSA is causing a major reduction in workload and that this is one of the key factors driving the MC rationalisation strategy why do you disagree with their assessment ? Can you explain why the continued growth of DSA is having no impact on the workload at your MC ?

So, what's it to be, a terminal case of CRAFT or a more artful rewrite of the past?
Afraid you will have to help me out with this bit,your meaning escapes me.

You are the one whinging and whining.
Postman they called me a tosser.
Postman they called me a knob.
I will just sit here thinking myself really clever by posting in a thread about which I have no personal experience when I have nothing relevant to add.
Now who does that remind me of? :hmmmm

How do you know I do disagree? Have I said as much? Before this thread I don't recall mentioning DSA in this context of mail volumes as such, but you did at 10.13 last night, and now somehow I disagree? Twist and turn....

Can you explain why the continued growth of DSA is having no impact on the workload at your MC ?
Why do you believe DSA has no impact on the workload? You do know DSA is processed like any other mail, don't you? Without DSA mail the MC would be very under-utilised.
