5 day letters, 7 days parcels will come as a surprise to no one. Treat of administration waved at Ofcom and the Government in the lead up to a general election. They'll either get their way or ask for subsidies to carry on 6 days letters. It would be down to the Government to argue over, is RM a separate business or part of IDS as a whole. Rumours had it the CWU was up for it but wanted the SWW as a sweetener.
This exactly, imagine if polling cards turned up late, they'll get what they want.

maybe a new c.e.o ?
Didn't they announce the new ceo a few weeks ago?
That's the CEO of the group, IDS. He is Martin Seidenberg, previous CEO of GLS. We await the appointment of new Royal Mail & GLS CEOs. Jobs for the boys. Big announcement could be it's Sam Allardyce :chuckle

It would appear to be true that the business is pressuring the regulator to temporarily suspend the USO citing an exceptionally precarious financial position.

However the CWU does not support this position and questions why a company in such a position would be recruiting an entirely new layer of management.

Personally I think it's a bluff, with us due to move to seasonal hours next week the whole resourcing model would be thrown into (more) chaos by this move.

Nobody really knows what a temporary suspension might look like, it could be 5 day letters, it could be even less or it could just mean a suspension of certain QofS targets.
Just been told by area rep cwu won't entertain what rm are asking for until all the other s--t thats happening stops. he also said joint statement was due to be issued at 15-30 today.

Fortunately for RM it matters not one bit what the CWU cry and moan about. That ship sailed months ago. They will protest as a form of public relations for us plebs though, the usual shite of “solidarity” “stick with us” “back your union”.

No.
I completely refuted the idea that Royal Mail were about to unilaterally dump the USO and walk away from it.
