Manager doing deliveries

[dave0876]

Just a quick question if manager has to take all or part of a walk out is it ok that they leave all the parcels on the frame and just take the letters sick of coming back in after my day off and all the parcels are left for muffins to do is this no covered by universal service obligation

[Pat Ostman]

I do not think parcels fall under the USO

[glenfiddich]

yeah it seems like packets are first to get left behind yet its these that people are most likely waiting for rather than the matalan flyer that just has to go

[montriff]

The day before you're off next week just leave all your packets and see what happens

Yes wilful delay!

[Judgee]

Parcels do not fall under the USO.

If you finish on time what's the problem? If you don't then work to your time and bring it all back!

Job and knock are gone so why care what they leave?

Universal postal service
The history of the universal postal service

In the UK, the universal service is most commonly understood as the right to communicate in an affordable and easily accessible way. This stems from the mid-nineteenth century when political reformer Rowland Hill introduced two innovations that transformed postal services around the globe. He initiated a geographically uniform postal rate and advocated the notion that the sender, not the recipient, should make the payment.
What is a universal postal service?

EU Directive 97/67/EC set up a new EU framework for the regulation of postal services, which ensured the provision of a universal postal service in each member state. This defined the minimum characteristics of this universal service as:

one collection from appropriate access points every working day
one delivery to all addresses every working day
to include postal items and packages up to 20 kilograms; plus
a service for registered items and insured items

All member countries of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) are obliged to ensure that ‘all customers enjoy the right to a universal postal service involving the permanent provision of quality basic postal services at all points in their territory at affordable prices’. However, it is up to member countries to decide how best to fulfil the universal service. There are broad differences between how the universal service is viewed, even in the European Union where the European Postal Services Directive imposes minimum requirements on its member states.
