How big can deliveries get under the new revision?

Post by Professor S Gulpfish »

Hi, had a glimpse at some of the new duties which have been created for the new revision, one of the pairing will have a total delivery span of near 5 hours and about 1400 delivery points. Seems rather a lot considering we postie's don't really make any time now. Thoughts please ty.

Thats cool cos thats only 2hrs 48mins indoor work, of which there still has to be a meal break, 2 x 700 calls = 1400, I personally have 800 calls which is a bit confusing because under Indoor Work Methods no frame should be more than 720 slots?????

After finally receiving help from a senior union official in our area, it now seems that finally our office revision will soon be ready too deploy. ty

Hi, today at work we were chatting about the breakdown of the new delivery times set by the planners, could somebody please answer me, is there a set amount of time to deliver to per house? What I mean is to work out the times shown for the new duties do they have a set amount of time per house x number of delivery points? ty

The length of the delivery is determined by how many metres it is.
You then have to factor in the walking speed (and that varies with delivery type and terrain)
The call-rate (how many doors you go to) has to be decided and the attendance rate (how many doors you knock on) is taken from the packet count.
There is a set time to deliver the mail through the door but that varies according to house/flat/multiple occupancy.

And all that gives you the delivery span.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

In theory a delivery can be as long as your duty time minus meal relief.

So for an 8 hour day the delivery span could be up to 7hrs 20mins. But this of course depends on how much indoor work you have to do.

The days of Job and finish and 3 1/2 hr delivery span are over so its more important than ever to do the job properly.
