Staff moral is down, ex - Oxford and Reading staff can't get sunday over time , even one of ex - Oxford manager got the EVR.
OX and RG staff who travel 35 miles one way to SN on basic pay ( as sunday OT is gone) do not like working in SN and some of them want to get out of SN MC.

Can't see how that would work as there'd be nothing for them to sort. A More likely scenario would be DSA and Mailsort being moved onto lates

Heard nothing but no doubt it will be opened up as the DWP reshuffle will be coming soon and they need to make places for those deputy managers which will somehow go from part time to full time because of suitability...

I would respond anyway. If you indicate acceptance now, it should say somewhere on the letter/form that its non binding and you can refuse it when offered.
