That wouldn't surprise me, potentially no need for any mech staff in MCs on Friday nights, so saving RM a day's TPM money per night shift staff member. Then potentially a dozen (depends on what machines an MC has) available for packets and Tracked so less casuals/agency needed on a Friday night

the CWU need to tell them NO chance , otherwise the amount of jobs this will lose is scary .

I was told the only way to get off the Saturday packets was to come off driving? It’s in for good.

To mind that mail is been delivered as we have so many walks failing every week so the managers try and clear as much as they can on a Saturday!

If the mail has failed on Friday it should be delivered on Saturday.
That is what was in the agreement. It isn't voluntary.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Was this sat joke meant to give us an easier time on sats? Its caused so many arguements in our office ,its a very toxic place to be on a sat now . Huge drivers v walkers divide now ( part of their plan) ?
