If there is any future in Royal Mail how does anyone see it happening? I for one can see later starts and later finishing I.e. 9 -5. Would take that if it was mon -fri.

Mon-fri would be lovely but I know of no delivery company who does that. If anything it'll end up a 7 day rota now that we're a parcel business.

Monday to Friday - 1/6th of the workforce cut (20,000) through retirement, people leaving and dismissals as long as it's not compulsory then there will be no fight from staff, union will want to but it won't get the backing if Saturday is lost. Share price will explode and that's all that matters. Any other day will see a major fight from staff/cwu.

Doubtful, maybe Mon-Fri for letters but parcels, Tracked and SDs going to 7 days a week. Don't know if they even could go Mon-Fri without falling foul of the USO

Heard from a Dom they’re looking to go Tuesday off across the board

Maybe nonsense but who knows.

I’ve heard this a few times but IMO it will never happen. Deliveries may be quiet on Tuesdays but the businesses we deliver to certainly aren’t.
