Think the CWU have got that wrong. How else do you explain the need for an extra CSS machine? We are doing stuff different, we start using the DTS on wave 2.

I think the mail centres will have to release mail differently in order for the pilots to work. They’re starting at tiny offices but when it reaches larger offices, the current way of delaying the release of 2c, will cause too much mail to be released on 2c delivery days to clear.

RM also need to make sure that we don't get any days where so much 2C gets released that we don't have time to run it all.

I’m in a trial office. Not that the trial has started yet. Thinking of getting a transfer to the U.S Postal Service.

Could try PostNL, Kretinsky’s other postal gig. They have the same issues as us, but no pilots.

I'm not sure how Canada Post are fairing these days, but Moya done a number on RM back in the early days.
