I'm still not convinced that there will be an increase in parcel traffic to warrant an extra day.
If all they do is to take work out of Saturday and Monday - what's the point?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Parcels ( packets as we know) traffic has gone down since Amazon have their own way . I think lightest deliveries ever now a days . We have 70 deliveries ..10 on laps and boys and girls still going home after 1pm :nana :dance

They cannot pay you for going over by 5 minutes yet alone 8 hours who would trust them to pay you for a whole day only an idiot would do it!

I'm kinda wishing it would be introduced in our neck of the woods - delivering a few parcels on OT or Sunday lunch with the In-Laws? Hmmm... not a tough choice! :nana

Who said it would be overtime re roistered duty patens or the twats that come in early doing it to make their hours up.
