Your union have agreed to it. Get used to it as this will become the norm now.

Had a parcel came through our DO on Monday, while not heavy, just fitted in a york. Ok, it was a bit taller. Have no idea how it got delivered

I had something similar on Monday, maybe 3/4 of a York but this thing was dam heavy and said 2 man lift on it. Tracked label stuck over the Parcelforce one. I’m not joking when I say the back of the van went down when I loaded it.

your union ? why are you in the same union then ? or do you just take the benefits and not pay nothing into the cwu , and yes they have but its work at the end of the day so who cares as you have a choice claim excess or finish on your time is simple. , but I just hope this doesn't affect Parcelforce employees at the other end.

Have had about 8 or 9 Adidas boxes the last few days. What's funny is I often see the ParcelForce driver out round my delivery. He drives about in a practically empty van. He wastes time by parking about 10 houses away from where he has the parcel for and walks to it. Just killing time. I know they're not all like that but it's funny to watch him driving at 5mph and reversing down streets that he doesn't need to. I guess ParcelForce managers look at PDA actuals a bit more.

That`s true, I`ve seen the local PF driver many times with about 10 parcels in his van, not even big, I had much bigger/heavier parcels in mine.

And he always loads 1-2 of them on a trolley...

Maybe they should merge into RM ...

Relief run perhaps?

Had one today, you scan the big barcode and the one I had was a signature required. It was trainers or football boots by the looks. Could be any adidas product I guess though if they deliver direct from adidas.

Nope, he`s doing it 9 til 5 I think, covers my DO`s area every day. Collects from post offices and firms and delivers.

I pay to the CWU so am a member thanks for asking but don't work in a DO. Not sure what you are getting at.
