You won’t be able to do 4 days forever as the competitors will have hoovered up all the work by then.
The competitors seem to be struggling to cope round our area

Yea I agree they are just ringing doorbell jumping in van then driving off, not even waiting to see if someone’s in!! And the amount of parcels on doorsteps is ridiculous and some left in the rain…. :shock:

Never in the field of delivering BS has so much BS been uttered by so few to so many. :crazy:

11,000 out of 115,000 regular posties haven't broken the strike.

2 out of 170 in my office
2 from 150, 0 from 80, and 3 from 200 in the three neighbouring offices.

7 from around 600.

No way 9 or 10% are going in. Propaganda bs.
How do you know it’s only 2? maybe some are agreeing to work from other offices, some being delivered bulk mail by managers and then taking it out, as stated on here, support is thinning and the Union seem to be mass deleting any comments that request talk updates.
How do you know its thinning, support in our area as strong as ever. We will see how thin it will be at the rally tomorrow!!!

The amount of Amazon packets we are getting here would definitely suggest that.

Says no compulsory redundancies. Change of mind? Just fibbing? Or VR over subscribed?
I don't understand how it even goes as far as compulsory redundancies....

It sounds like a lot of people applied for VR and not that many are getting it. This is based on comments on here and the VR Poll we have running on another thread - I get it - there's only been 300 votes so far in that poll, but it probably gives a reasonably accurate representation of the state of play with VR....

So how does this even go as far as CR? Anyone that understands redundancy processes please reply....

How can you have two people doing the exact same job, but one is paid 20% less?
Dont forget the agency staff getting higher wages still

Yea I agree they are just ringing doorbell jumping in van then driving off, not even waiting to see if someone’s in!! And the amount of parcels on doorsteps is ridiculous and some left in the rain…. :shock:
When I point out to a recipient that Amazon/EVRI/Yodel/DPD whoever has left a packet
out in the rain at their doorstep without knocking, it's just a 'tut' and 'typical'.

In fact wait, when he says no compulsory redundancies has he just missed out the 'until March 2023 at the earliest' part?

Had Yodel take a photo and stuff the parcel in the door. We get home, no parcel. Stolen!
