Same in our MC....

We have to find an empty york to go out to the Distribution Hall to fill it up with trays for the Mech.

And then when we go for our Meal Relief, 9/10 you come back to the machine to find:-

No Yorks
The Yorks you had with trays in are gone - with the trays stacked on the floor...


How the hell they expect us to dispatch the mail each morning is beyond me!!!
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Same here, it's probably the same in every MC, no sleeves or yorks, I reckon we'll be sending the outward stuff in cardboard sleeves soon

We've been sending some out in cardboard all week, got quite a lot of it around, just nothing to assemble them in. Excuse this year is apparently that they're all stuck up North.

Think if you go to DO's you will find them. Our DO has had to move vans out of the yard because there so
effing many yorks :crazy:
None of the 600's van drivers will take empties away due to the road conditions.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Speaking to a distribution colleage this morning.....

They've been told to PRIORITISE bring back empty red SLEEVES instead of empty Yorks...... :evil/mad :Applause

makes sense.You can take the sleeve out if you have to,which leaves a york!And replace the sleeve when an empty york comes available...

True....

But the Packet staff are always on the scrounge for Yorks to make the Red Sleeves up.....

IF you don't Strap the Yorks literally onto the railings down the machine - they'll walk off with them...... :so there

i think you'll find that this is just bollox.if they can get the mail to you they can take empties away.simples.
i say this as a 600 driver as we have the same problems with a small minority of lazy twats who think some one else will clear them instead.

we have been told to keep 50 available for amazon and we cannot use them under any circumstances.
if this pattern follows around the country then imagine how many yorks are laying around waiting to be sent to amazon.

I thought the mail centres were hiding them and inventing a smaller number when tallying up the daily amount.

Stuff the movement orders.Keep em for yourselves. :Very Happy
