Max delivery span

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

It was replaced with "Delivery Span is an enabler" so apart from certain specific equipment there is no longer a Maximum Span.

Royal Mail and CWU agree that the length of the delivery span can be an enabler in bringing about mutual benefits. From now on, within the process of duty revision negotiations, spans must be looked at in the context of an enabler rather than a fixed amount of time to be aimed at.

In essence, the span will no longer be an objective in itself. Instead office revisions should look to define a set of revision objectives in line with the Delivery Revision Process and then negotiate and agree a duty span/structure that best meets these objectives, taking into account local factors and safety issues in route design.

And sadly ; that as an agreed statement is the biggest load of bo**cks going and set the tone for 6 hr (and more) walks.

The second paragraph is typical . Look at it and then break it down into its component parts. Complete and utter crap.

Yes, "that best meets these objectives" NOT 'that is within the physical capabilities of the workforce'. :arrrghhh
