We've been told 12 less in our office, there's 2 vacancies that they aren't filling, someone's left so we're already down to 9, they said rest would be natural reduction, maybe 1 or 2 voluntaries.

No and it's certainly not what the CWU has agreed. Exactly what is going to happen to the supernumeraries is a mystery but looking at what happens to workers in the mail centres it ain't going to be good

Has the supernumerary situation still not been sorted out? Surely they should be offered positions at local DOs?

None locally, a few have retired or quit.

For any supernumaries in DOs after all this, they'll be made to move to a new DO

Odd somebody working in an MC knows that but posties working in a DO don't? Given the reduction in staff numbers there might well not be an vacancies in any DO's.

Why aren't mail centre surplus made to move to DO's? Genuine question.

No surplus any more. It was dealt with by the ones that quit or retired

They wouldn’t last 5 minutes, most will admit this so it’s not controversial.
