Missort run

Post by Broxi51 »

Our missort run has stopped. :shock: Is this the norm? What happens to all the delayed mail that wont
get delivered until the following day. Is this a UK wide thing?
Does the press know :chuckle
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.

Ours was stopped a while ago. It was total farce anyway as we were only on the IPS for about 15 mins before the missort van left so all it was taking was the previous days missorts. It makes more sense to send them back to the MC in the afternoon so they are distributed to DOs on the first wave in the morning. Also the hours are now being used for DOs to collect wave 2 mech from the MPUs.

I agree there is no consistency.

Particularly annoying when it comes to over time rates!

It's against the USO for it to be stopped and should be flagged to area as soon as it's mentioned!
Stopping it is a BIG no no.

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.
