USO pilots, can anyone on the trial give an honest appraisal

Post by coconutty »

Is there anyone on the forum who is on the USO pilot give an honest update of how its going.

Also how does it actually work in practice, I've seen posters showing 6 duties being shared by 4 posties but some managers are saying 4 duties shared by 3 posties.

If anyone on here could comment on how its actually working and how the trial is progressing.

The pilot doesn’t start until February.

Why are you even bothered, do what you are told, you have a start & finish time, switch off mate, life is far to short.

We aren't doing it, yet, but most shared vans are flipping between the 2 - roughly 3 days behind on average. Won't be long til it's brought in.
When I say average, some duties get mail once a week and others every day.

It’s just a more complex way to delay mail.

Get no more honest than what the WSWS has reported. And it's not my nonsense.
