It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

That would be the guidelines that have two people van sharing with DIFFERENT finishing times. For example

Postman 1) Finish time at 2PM (25 Hr Contract)
Postman 2) Finish time at 2.45PM (40Hr Contract)

BOTH doing the same rounds together. Can you explain how that works dingo? :whistle :cuppa

Shambles Royal Mail/CWU!

No thought has gone in to this at all, zero.... Its people behind desks that have never posted a letter, or stopped ten years ago that come up with this tosh and inflict it on hard working people.

Keep pushing your pens and getting rich off our subs! I have brought this up at national level, my response?

Are we talking CDV here or is van share something entirely different. If it is the former then:
