35 hrs (full time) 6;15 am - 3pm
30hrs 7;30am-3pm
25 hrs 8;45am-3pm.

wk1 mon-thurs, wk2 tues-fri, wk3 weds-sat, wk4 thurs-sun, wk5 fri-mon, wk6 sat-tue, wk7 sun-weds,repeat.

Then you could have 2 or 3 groups on staggered weeks to ensure the office is always fully staffed.
Not everybody drives though.
maybe the non drivers could be used in the callers office or general office work?

I think if letters went down to 5 days it'd be Mondays they axe, there'd be no need to have any mech staff in MCs or MPUs on Sunday rate

They will just do away with Sunday rate like they did with Saturday rate. Problem solved. I've already told your what's coming.

If Sunday was just a parcel day....you could just employ sunday workers. No need to make current Posties work Sundays.
