RMCtv : Zareena 'Dolly Parton is my hero' Brown : Annualised hrs and child care

[Woody Guthrie]

The 1-3 hour later start times at DO's would give them the time needed at MC's to get data into the system from the barcodes and then generate the walks.

No it wouldn't.
The entire network would be pushed back 1-3 hours not just delivery.

It's actually the fact that the mail would arrive at the mailcentres later that would force the later starts in delivery.

There's no savings in dynamic walk generation unless you can send people home at zero notice, that would mean employing everyone on zero hours contracts but if you have that capability you don't need dynamic walk generation because you can just stop paying people the minute they walk back into the office anyway.

That's what they're after with flexi-time, annualised hours and a commitment to deliver, a version of zero hours contracts.

That's what I've been saying for sometime and I'm surprised the CWU haven't twigged it. I've already voted although it doesn't matter to me as I have resigned anyway.

They have twigged they are trying to stop it.

Re: sending any staff not needed to another office....and if they are clued up, start at their own DO on time and ask for a van to transport them (which in most DOs are in short supply), what then?

Indeed, unless you have business insurance for your car most policy's are 'to and from one place of work'

As more and more stuff gets sorted by machines then RM will know more and more of what DPs are getting what items.

You're missing the point.
Even in that scenario...
You won't know that until you run the machines.
You can't resource an office at 3am for that day.
Are you going to text people at 4am and tell them not to bother coming in?

No different to how it is for casuals

RM would just use some sort of variant of the DTS software. The DTS software has processed the data from the iLSMs, IMPs and T2K machines on what DPs have got mail by about midnight

You’re absolutely clueless mate.
You always make some attempt at clairvoyance/know it all bollocks about what’s going to happen in DO’s based upon your experience doing a central heated shift in a MC.

Last week you were saying when parcels were taken away you could resource a DO with 6 people doing all the walks

Tell you what, when you and your mates up in the hub can get their s**t together and send stuff to a DO that isn’t

-in a tray upside down
-in a tray mixed together like an Alsatians dinner
-in a tray without a label
-in a tray with the wrong label
-in a tray with the right label but to the wrong DO
-in tied bags
-in tied bags so tight you can’t get a pair of scissors in them
-in the wrong parcel york
-in the right parcel york but without proper H&S inserts

Then you can tell us what’s going to happen in a DO and how long it’s going to take.

Haha that's class, all of the above happens most days
