It means you leave the letters.
It also means its pointless one half of a van share working on a Saturday if only parcels are being done

It probably means one postie will be covering two walks etc .postie's will be moved for operational needs etc

So drivers have responsibility of driving all the time are always expected to do large parcels and now non drivers can have every Saturday off. drivers don't get pay a penny extra for driving, think now I would prefer to be non driver much less hassle

My office has no one off sick we are sending people to other offices. The only problem we have is the one man to a van. People are walking out, using cars or working from home, none of those really an option if only parcels are being delivered. If no letters are delivered on a Saturday you wont need anywhere near the amount of staff at the moment, for section with 20 walks 2 or 3 drivers could cover it. Its Rico big plan but without moving all the parcels to lat hubs, that will happen if this trial is a success no doubt. Thousands of job losses as well

It does beg the question of what exactly the union is doing at present. They’ve been consistently outmanoeuvred for the last 2 years, and now we’ve effectively been shorn of a day - with the potential for it never to return - behind the CWU’s back. Maybe it’s because of coronavirus, but I’m sure we all suspect that it’s more down to the employer’s ideology. They want to lose a day, and given that business mail doesn’t go out on Saturday, it’s the obvious choice. A skeleton delivery on Saturdays might be the future, delivered by lads and lasses on zero-hour contracts.

What makes you think the MC's will be processing letters on a Fri night.

I never said that. I said it makes sense. Monday will be a much busier day and would be good to have Saturdays mail already in the frames for monday
