Why are they DETERMINED to put us out at the hottest point of day?

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

Most of the time dependant stuff could end up being dealt with by the super duper hubs.

According to Google there's 1,400 DOs in the UK. If you split that between the 3 hubs then that's a minimum of 467 selections their machines will need and that's not counting where DOs get splits. I can't see their machines being able to handle that many selections

If the bulk of the mail streams lose any time specific requirements what's still to be processed come final dispatch simply becomes tomorrow's mail, in theory then you could manipulate that final dispatch in any way you wanted.
If that does happen then we might well see ALL MCs and ALL DOs closed as RM could have a few sorting hubs set up where absolutely everything is sequenced, making both MCs and DOs redundant. Delivery staff would pick up the mail somewhere and spend their whole shift out delivering.

Will not most of the items going through The Two possibly Three Super Hubs be delivered by the 300 - 400 LAT Offices
Each Hub will have a selection for all of the LAT Offices

Will the LAT offices be able to handle 10,000+ Tracked items alone each?

Is / Was it not the plan that Items of Shoe Box size or over would go from the Outward MC to a Hub then back to the Inward MC for despatch to an LAT Office for delivery

They'd need to greatly improve the segging of packets all round, everywhere. We often get sleeves with a mix of large and small both Tracked and normal. The same for the yorks which are meant to be just large. We even get the odd SD thrown in
