The union rep, dom, and area manager had long discussions and having seen no way forward and no way to plug the leak, the plan is to take it all out and go back to what they used to do
The rep is a muppet then!

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It's still going ahead in our office.

First phase is in a couple of weeks with the other phases 3 weeks apart.

We're still going to be using the vans, al la P&L but our delivery spans have been replanned from 4.5hrs down to 3.5hrs :nana

Someone has finally twigged that you can't get 3hrs prep, travelling time, breaks, van checks + a 4.5hr delivery into 7.48hrs. It did take several local offices completely failing (and a lot more nationally) for those above to realise it though :cuppa

so basiclly... as they (RMG) did with Pegasus...

they come up with what seems like a great idea for them and way for them to save money...
force it through the union and into local areas...
re-plan delivery duties at unachievable walking speeds, and/or driving speeds

and then... figure out that it isnt going to work and is actually going to cost them more money in overtime (not to mention consulant fees)
and in this case...spend millions of pounds to buy golf trolleys, and small vans... that now are not going to see widespread use
leaving RM with hundreds of surplus vans that are not even suitable for the way we work before all this sh*t... not to mention all the stupid little trolleys... that are branded "Royal Mail" so they cant even be sold on without money being spent on them...
