What happened to the fortnightly Saturday parcel delivery review we were meant to have ?

I'm sure the powers that be are thinking it's wonderful but that's not my experience of it so far, I'm not expecting it to end after 6 weeks either.
We're all here because we're not all there

god knows ? and to be honest its been a complete farce and should have never have been allowed to stay in after week 1 never mind anything else , and for us to have to work this way on top of this coronavirus is a f***ing disgrace and then they say it was all about dropping and helping us with the workload , bullshit :left: , Mon - Fri is a f***ing mad house and social distancing is a joke and now we have just kopped for more work from parcelforce , great idea :thumbup

Mon-Fri was in Royal Mails 5 year plan and making the business a parcel business. Within the last 12 weeks they have got them both.

Where is the union.

Yes it is a joke really not just the amount of parcels but the size of them, some very heavy, my tiny vauxhall combi van has been full to the brim most days and that’s on a semi rural! I’m working to time bringing a row of mail back every day. No word from management or union and the whole key workers thing is a load of bull to keep us in work... we’re jusf delivering a load of shite tat that ppl could live without. We’re there to keep the economy afloat it would seem. Social distancing appears to have vanished as well so that puts us at an even higher risk.

Piller la classe ouvrière...
Very apt.
Even if you meant pillar.
