new machines coming in June???

Post by Postal1 »

We've just been told that we will be getting the new sorting machine by june even though we haven't voted. Typical of RM to push stuff through to weaker offices even though the ballot hasn't gone through yet.

I know we'll get these. But to hear that walk logs are being checked and need updating by end of next week for machine to come in by June.
They also tell us that they need ten people who are (suitable) to fill the vacancy. They will work on a four day shift, 12-10am.

Just seems our office always gets shafted first. We've already gone van sharing ages ago.

Our machines will be in by June aswell, though the engineers reckon it will take a miracle to have them up and running by then.
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 don't think a "no" vote means the end of Royal Mail's business plan.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

According to our REP, there is no "B" option, so CDV, WSM etc, would go ahead

The implementation of WSM and the new delivery method were never subject to this agreement.
