Or 40 000 over 5 years opposed to the agreed 24 000 over 3 years.

BT2010 is a RML agreement.

The 40,000 figure refers to group not letters. What I hope Dave and his team will achive is these figures broken down into the component parts of RMG.

This effects our are comrades in PF and POL as well as us RML staff.

No-one knows.
It is blatantly obvious that the CWU hasn't even seen the new business plan.
My best guess since the "talk" was that the modernisation plan would take 5 years instead of 3 that this is an additional 16,000 not an additional 40,000...but that's just an opinion. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I really can't see how deliveries can take much more in the way of cuts. I suspect mail centres/distribution will be hit again as there is supposedly less work for them to do...

What happens if DSA bypasses the Mail Centres and gets delivered directly to wherever the sequencing machines are located?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I have very little faith in what the papers say. It would not surprise me at all if RM paid for this article to be put in the paper. Unless there are multiple sources and clear evidence with specific facts then just jot it down for future reference and ignore it.

In order for it to be sequenced it has to be coded as far as I know. :hmmmm

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.
