:crazy: Can any say if there was anything in the agreement that would still allow us to be paid extra for the weight of
larger households, or is that being stolen from us too?

Don't worry you'll have new equipment to 'take the weight off your back' .....oh and longer delivery spans.

Royal mail will be paid extra for heavy items but we won`t, also talked to a line manager who seems to think that some d2d`s in the future will be the size and weight as sky mags. :shock:
