COM said there were still "thousands" of tracked due tonight and tomorrow...
It's around this time in Xmas pressure when Amazon normally start to send loads of stuff by RM Tracked, reckon, they might send loads via SD instead

we do not have cover on our day off and strike on Friday.... so not sure we'll clear backlog especially when they prioritise tracked. They don't care about the 10 days worth of mail that hasn't gone out yet and is still in the frame.

I think the absolute chaos it's caused, resulting in the media coverage of this, putting this dispute firmly in the spotlight, and exposing the Royal Mail management's total disregard for the service, and it's staff, maybe isn't as pointless as u think.

D.O and I don’t think a single walk cleared today. They’re round begging us to start 2 hours early (around 5am) on Monday :left: Er, I thought Simon’s brainchild plan was to have us starting later

Hope your right cos this can’t go on much longer for anyones sake, hopefully the media focus will make something happen, but I’m not convinced as Thompson doesn’t seem to care, he must have the backing of the board and seemingly couldn’t care less for the mere worker who might be struggling while he pockets 62k a month

No business can sustain long term disruption like this. Shareholders will not allow him to not care less. He answers to them, he literally gave them all the profits we earned. He can't just ignore this, n I can't see us backing down any time soon.

Chaos! nearly all 31 walks didn’t complete and 5 not touched including tracked! 2 agency guys who have only been here 3 days when tout together and apparently took 7 hours and only did one walk and tracked between them and brought 8 bags of mail back! But apparently this is the future and the answer to lack of permanent staff, well good luck to them
Because it’s not working and costing an absolute fortune, an absolute shambles of a company
