So long as they are kept in a pouch in the back of the van , well.... thousands or as many as they've got for you, we're sitting targets.

your union rep should know.

Do not carry more than the maximum number allowed. Do not expose yourself to risks.
If it is a high risk area then refer to the “WalkSafe” threat assessment procedure as it may
be necessary to reduce the number or remove these items completely on certain walks.
The important thing is that a Walk Risk Assessment must be carried out and such assessments
based on local knowledge and previous incidents may override these standards to ensure
the most appropriate safety and security protection levels are maintained at all times.
(A maximum of 8 Special Delivery (SD) individual items per walk may be carried each day,
of which no more than 3 may be higher value SD items, a maximum of 48 SD individual
items per walk each week of which no more than 18 may be higher value SD items. Walks
exceeding this standard number of items per week must to be Risk Assessed to determine
the appropriate method of delivery and whether it needs to be motorised. Ideally collection
and deliveries in town centre areas should be motorised. For the full details on Motorised/
Vehicle SD Delivery/Collection refer to Royal Mail Internal Information Special Delivery
Pipeline Conveyance Guidelines for the collection, delivery and distribution of SD items

why attack cwu reps. they do the job for no extra pay and have to put up with attacks from both colleagues and bosses.

There are two types of reps. The ones that do it for others and the ones that do it for themselves. (cough, day release, cough). Recently I have been exposed to more of the latter.

And as dues are paid we have every right when there is a cause, the union is NOT free.

That's why.

That's not for vans, that's only for walking/bikes/trollies, as I said, there is no upper limit because you have a van and they can be secured at all times in the back of it.
