d2d traffic figures

[shepherdess]

Now that d2d are classed as mail does the 1/6th of the office d2d count into total traffic for that day?

[halfull]

yes,they must add 1/6th of the whole office's d2dr count to each day. if they are not they are cooking the books!

And in reality, there's a distinct scent of paper-a-burning, streaming steadily from the DOM's office, down past the IPS frames, where the smoke lingers for a moment in some of the slots and rustles the last lonely letters ever so slightly in passing. Onward it goes, drifting hither and thither in a slight breeze (caused by the smug and righteous air that is also emanating, quite mysteriously, from the DOM's office) so that it is shaken towards the fitting of the last, lonely postman, who mops the sweat from his brow as he fights relentlessly to prep a sixth of his SIX door-to-doors into an already bulging fitting. He fights and he fights against the SAGA mags, the National Trust mags, the Sky mags - "why oh why do they always appear on the busiest Friday?" he cries - but he knows he's getting weaker. It would be easier . . . to give up. To let go. To wander into the sunset without ever saying goodbye. It would be easier to punch the DOM's face when he looks blankly towards you when you mention the words "door-to-door" and "traffic figures" and "additional prep time" in the same sentence.

Alas, it is all too much. It is all too much.

No

In the interim to ensure that D2D workload is covered effectively in line with this agreement, and in advance of units realigning duties through full revision activity to take account of D2D, resourcing of hours associated with the workload linked to D2D will be dealt with through locally agreed interim arrangements and reviewed through the weekly resourcing meetings in all delivery units. To aid the transition, offices that have not deployed delivery methods revisions will have to provide genuine and demonstrable solutions to any weight or volumetric issues.

Why the hell are we carrying even more mail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! disgusted

Well quite.

[coolasluck]

Can somebody please tell me,what the hell happened to the d2d crap in one envelope and addressed promise that we had.
Where is the union here,as usual it looks like the union is stabbing us in the backs again.
How quick the rm and the cwu were to rip us off and force us to deliver still yet more leaflets whilst making our jobs harder.

[clashcityrocker]

There never was a promise.
It was mentioned - if financially viable.

[coolasluck]

It was a sweetener to get people to sign up for it. I don't think they ever had any intention of introducing it.

[moyas slave]

its all supposed to be bagged/enveloped once the amount exceeds 6 items.

can I deny it.

the 2010 section in D2D says

The CWU will be involved in quarterly review meetings, which will provide an opportunity for the CWU and Royal Mail to review operational challenges, product developments, and work together to identify new products and further growth opportunities, including the potential for automation which will be driven by commercial viability linked to volume.

No set trigger and no guarantee it ever will be automated
