It's not going to 3 days they've already ruled that out in their statement to market. Some of these reps talk utter shite.

It would be too big a jump in one go but I think 5 days is pretty much nailed on and who knows what the future might bring?

I was told a few months ago that Mondays are going from a good source and that we will also do parcels and Specials seven days a week. As for the 20000 job losses, well I know a lot of people who would walk tomorrow if the money was right.

I guess most people would be happy to work Monday to Friday.

Personally my wife works every Saturday and Sunday so I prefer to have a day off during the week so we actually get some time together.

Ideally when whatever changes happen finally happen there will be a range of duty patterns to suit everyone. Although I guess that will be more likely at LAT offices than non LAT offices.
