the whole point of our job is to deliver mail so that firms can receive mail early .

Only if they pay for it...otherwise they are just another punter.

you will not cut costs by sending driving dutys out at the peak time of traffic delays.
also how will royal mail increase profits if firms decide to go to other delivery companys to get their mail
at the time it should be delivered,we are playing into the hands of our competitors who will be able to deliver
mail before we have even left our office.

Sounds like your position in the great sequencing plan has changed.
This will happen to a lot of offices as more machines come on line.
