I think it well depend how up to date the MC are with the DSA ? In the past we have been flooded with crammed mech trays and non buddy DSA flats for the IPS.
I am hoping parcels and packets will ease off. Its been a steady 3 packet bags a day right through this year.
That'll depend on when the DSA firms start sending out DSA again.

Why do Royal Mail do this. It just encourages bullying and harassment. Why not offer everyone in the office some extra money for clearing on Christmas Eve.

It must be cheaper to just pay the Dom and have them make the posties clear by whatever threats/bribes necessary. Robin will be full tomorrow of all the clear office pictures but if I were placing bets I don't think Whitwood will be :crazy:

4.30pm finishing time in my office. Many rounds didn't clear. A couple of deliveries didn't go out at all due to lack of staff.
