I'm not particularly looking forward to seeing jobs go, a two tier workforce and spending the vast majority of my working day in the pissing rain delivering mail.

If it just came down to a start time and a finish time and RM can do anything to us in between there isn't much point in having a union.

The bigger picture here is that they can in effect create a separate parcels business within Royal Mail itself. If as they predict mail will drop by 25% they could offload the letters business and follow a model closer to Hermes, I also do wonder if they're trying to eventually follow a Franchise model. The management do seem a little too happy in our DO. Time will tell. I think the way forward for staff is a work to rule and bring the mail back to DO if over your time.

Wonder how long it'll be before RM look to save a load of money and make most managers into "Team Leaders" (normal OPG pay rate + leadership allowance). My gut feeling is that there's a fair difference in pay between a postie with leadership allowance and a line manager

That would have to be balloted for otherwise it could get classed as unofficial industrial action

Have the union agreed to this method?
