So how was it in the end for you?
Below is part of the agreement that was made between the Union and the Business.
Probably the most important part for us Posties on delivery.
Makes interesting reading.
Save me making a long winded reply as there's enough there to read,just imagine a big Red X as mine over the page.

Town Residential routes will be planned on a 3.5-hour delivery span. All routes will be planned on the basis of equalisation, and a fair and manageable workload. The planning process will have the full involvement of the CWU and employees.

Health & Safety and Walk Design will play a major part in dealing with weight on delivery and fatigue issues. To this end all walks will be risk assessed and the appropriate equipment provided as a matter of course. CWU Area H&S representatives will be fully involved in all aspects mentioned above.

Saturday attendances will be significantly shorter than weekday attendances. To assist this Mailsort 3 need not be scheduled for delivery and missort runs should be rescheduled to enable an earlier start on town residential delivery routes.

Significant new investment will be made in indoor and outdoor equipment, giving better tools for the job.

Single deliveries will be introduced to provide all delivery employees with a fair and manageable workload whilst fully safeguarding welfare and safety.

Royal Mail and CWU will ensure that the introduction of a single delivery system is compliant with Health and Safety legislation and its requirements. The Area Safety Manager and local/area CWU safety representatives will be available, when necessary, to provide advice and support in line with their normal roles to assist in implementing the following:

Undertake risk assessment, as detailed in the 12 Step Revision process, for each walk to ensure all health and safety requirements and regulations have been applied, with toilet and welfare facilities in the vicinity identified at step 3 of the revision process. The risk assessment process will also consider the needs of any individuals during the duty selection process.

Appropriate Outdoor equipment must be provided as a business standard to ensure each walk has an identifiable Weight on Delivery solution.

The revision will be planned on the basis of no use of private vehicles.
