Been told there will definatley be VRS at ours. They want non drivers and old contracts gone to have a more malleable workforce going forward.
RM almost certainly have a figure in mind with "legacy" contracts where they feel when employment tribunal costs are factored in that it's cheap enough to force everyone on a "legacy" contract onto one of the newer contracts.
More nonsense from our resident MC worker, it would take years, even decades, before legacy contracts were sufficiently low enough to risk an handful of staff taking RM to an employment tribunal.
Unless you know how many legacy contracts exist and how close they are to retirement or how soon they plan to quit then your speculation as to how long it'll take is bullshit
Maybe wise you stop speculating also then

Especially when your speculations are usually nothing more than ill informed scare mongering
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

RM will do it one day, you're deluded if you think that it'll never happen. Only RM know when they consider it worth the risk/being cheap enough to impliment.

Some offices may not have has much EVR as you might think.
With delivery 2.0+USO change they want duties down to 450 calls.
Which means those offices with massive deliveries which took 1 postie to do will have maybe 2 doing the same walk.
But with a much higher call rate. Potentially 1/3 to 1/2 of d2ds being delivered that day.

Not to fatigue it isn't. Yes it's an extra day off but the longer days to pay for it will hurt :thumbdown :thumbdown

I agree, duties should be made smaller.
