why would anyone in the union want to do away with saturday deliveries? do they think losing 1/6th of the workforce is acceptable for a lie in?

There is no way that RM will re-invest these hours so the only way offices could absorb this is by starting early and skipping meal relief.
That is not a position i could support.
There's the rub ,lots of reps can't support the abandoning of seniority,but HQ says we'll cave in on this one; where does it end?

I accept your point however the walksort would only be for Wave 2 Saturday which in some DOs is 30% or around 1/2 tray .... how long would that take to prep ?
