Confirmed 2 peeps in a van from 21st June subject to government guidance

[POSTMAN]

Simon Thompson : Earnings Call Transcript

From the 21st of June and subject to government guidance, we will have two people back in a van. And it's worth noting that those two people in the vehicle deliveries are around about 55% of our overall deliveries.

Now you know.

It’s also worth noting that the Indian variant is on the rise and I and many others have not even received my first vaccine. So unless this daft git is going to lead by example and hop in a van 20cm from another random postie every day then I’m going to politely refuse.

[SpacePhoenix]

I think it'll start again before then. The local bus company here is allowing the use of ALL forward facing seats

[Acca Dacca]

Mandatory or voluntary?

Plus you would need to wait an additional two weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective

And its worth noting that this will mean that thousands of posties are being forced to work alongside each other. What adjustments have Royal Mail made to help prevent the spread of the disease in the shared vans - Face masks and hand sanitzer. Yeah righto. That worked before didn't it??

We should wait until everyone has had their vaccine.

Also, has any workplace been offering test and trace kits for their staff? Bit of poor show if it isn't, considering this geezer was supposed to be in charge of the NHS test and trace.

Ooooh can’t wait…..not

for the vaccine to be fully effective

What makes you think it is effective?

[Lauren1y]

If your working with the same person everyday then I certainly don’t have any issues going back to van sharing! These people saying that they don’t want to or they can’t make us will find that they can! Van sharing was always going to come back.

for the vaccine to be fully effective

What makes you think it is effective?

The vast majority of evidence based science?
What makes you think it's not?

for the vaccine to be fully effective

What makes you think it is effective?

Good question, depends which variant you happen to catch and your immune system coping.

Good question, depends which variant you happen to catch and your immune system coping.

The evidence so far is that the vaccines are effective against all the variants.
