Manual flats prepped outside office

[Redcollar]

Today our manual mail came into the office already sorted elsewhere. No Ips running this morning. Surely will lead to job losses although management state it is to "protect full time jobs" where does that leave the rest of us then? Seeing as the union are only interested in full time jobs and not the part timers

I think this is the same so-called time saving manual flat system that we have had the last few weeks, although not on every day. It doesn't save any time for the guys throwing up the round frames themselves though, as 2 rounds come in mixed together so you end up double handling stuff to separate them out. It does save on the IPS. The job still remains as heavy on delivery hours as ever, and no doubt the saving will not be quite as much as they want.

Is this the "Buddy Tray" system? It really doesn't save time for those prepping the walks, especially if there are three routes buddied together (one being on the other side of the office), and 12 trays needing sorted...
