After working through this pandemic with asthma and getting appreciation from some customers, it is a kick in the teeth that 20,000 of us may lose our jobs next year. I am not doing more than my hours now. Also, just fed up with nasty bullies in the office getting away with bad behaviour....

20,000 jobs cut?

Royal Mail are talking to the regulator at the moment about getting rid of the USO.

IMO letters will be Mon-Fri and only Parcels on Saturdays, which will result in job loses.

Remember the business ran this model for a coupe of months so the plans are there ready to go.

Don't think it'll mean that many job loses in MCs, just less casual staff needed. I think that 85-90% of the job loses will sadly be from DOs

I am beginning to think that in order to minimise the number of VRs, they are dragging the talks out in the hope many of us will die of boredom.
I am nearly there.

RM will be looking for a deal before The AGM on the 8th Sept

No Saturday would be 20,000 job cuts
50 per cent staff in 10,000 job cuts
25 per cent staff in 15,000 job cuts

Would this be right?.

It will be and end to the 6 day letters USO.

Yes, regretably RM will be looking to 'lose' 1/6th of the workforce.

The selection criteria for this 1/6th is the only thing that is uncertain.

Those on (potential) long term sick the first to get shown the door?
