7 d2ds is someone having a laugh ??

Post by Godric »

just received union pack today stating Royal mail are trialing 7 d2ds in some areas seemingly they had talks with the union about this .... I will be very angry if this idea came from the union as our workload is at breaking point with Royal Mail adding more work on hard pressed posties .... it is about time some of the people at the top of the union try doing our job for a week to see how they get on and try the workloads and conditions posties are having to endure at present :thumbdown ... rant over

why is the union intent on making the job harder? . it should be making the job easier

because some of them haven't done our job in decades whilst believing the propaganda churned out by Royal mail .... in the last 10 years our workloads have more than double in real terms

More work = more jobs.

If you don't want to do D2D then you don't have to.
Just tell your DOM you won't be doing any, take your rep as a witness and then go home and put your feet up.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

that is the point they are not creating more jobs on the delivery side ... they are reducing them
