NON - DRIVER ( ARE OUR DAYS NUMBERED )

[Barnacle]

I think that we will just have to agree to disagree then, as I don't think the company would care in the slightest if morale dropped due to some staff going Mon-Fri, after all it's where the main body of work will be. Anything else over complicates things and is the reason no solution has been found.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on what will transpire rather than what won't.

Also, non-drivers only number a 1000, so making them Monday to Friday is a simple task compared to some delivery offices no longer being fit for purpose.

I heard the number was a fair bit higher than that, perhaps that was incorrect. Nevertheless, at some point Occam's razor principle comes into play, and this looks like one of those occasions.

That’s the number Tony Bouch stated at the most recent gathering - he will only have been referring to non-drivers in delivery.

If it's only 1000 then it's pretty much a non issue, yes we know there'll be little point having them in on a Saturday so perhaps offices will have to have a mon-fri section and it's tough s**t if anyone thinks it's unfair, how about offering the mon-fri duties constant walking on various different duties all with multiple days mail to anyone, I know for a fact in our office all the 'bobs' on their piss easy rurals will moan about not getting every sat off when others might do but they sure as s**t won't choose to move onto those duties.

That's a hell of a tumble in less than a year.

On Non Drivers there are 8400 non drivers out of 60 thousand Delivery Staff.

[Acca Dacca]

2024 they said the number was 4000 odd I think that had no license at all and 8000 odd that do but dont drive for RM as not contracted to

The number will be lower now due but I wouldnt imagine its as low as 1000

He's the same idiot that said we only walk 12,000 steps a day

27,000 drivers or more have left in the past year,I wonder why?.

[Perseus]

27,000 drivers or more have left in the past year,I wonder why?.

Because well over 90% of people drive for RM?

[Rommagic]

Nothing 2 do with they soon find out job is bad then leave?.

Your post just read that they leave because of something to do with driving.

The question that needs asking

What % of staff that do not drive for Royal Mail actually hold a UK driviung licence?

Even those that do not, nothing stopping them from applying for a driving licence

With lessons £40 a shot now and tests booked up months and months in advance I dont think thats fair to say given you dont know everyones circumstances

The question being asked is what % of employees actually have a driving licence and have decided for whatever reason not to drive for Royal Mail

Eh?

My response was to your last line ''Even those that do not, nothing stopping them from applying for a driving licence''

I have a driving license and I was employed way before it was needed to work for Royal Mail.

I have never driven for them and i never will.

I’d rather take vr.

Stuart Pearce would be in my 6-a-side team all day long.

I wasn't really thinking of professional footballers, more the kid that gets picked last in the playground.
But just as a matter of interest I googled Stuart Pearce and 6 a side. I only found one reference.
He played alongside that well known postman Neil Webb in a Nottingham Forest side who lost in the final of the Soccer Sixes to Charlton.
Peter Shirtliff scored the winning goal.

(I think that was the last time Charlton won anything. Postman might be able to confirm?)
