It doesn't matter how he knows it.
Every now and again we have to have a BIG announcement thread. It is the law.
It is usually followed by a lizard thread.

Ahh ok Clash ( taps nose). He knows a bloke who knows a taxi driver who knows a Postie who knows Dave Wards milkman and He told Him

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.

5 day letters, 7 days parcels will come as a surprise to no one. Threat 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.

Nah. Change in the biscuits. I believe Chocolate Hob Nobs are now the preference

We all were under no illusion once the agreement was across the line. Royal Mail would go nuclear with scorched earth, so not unexpected.

If it's administration then that could be all our allowances gone with everyone on minimum wage, paid breaks gone. Mandatory driving in DOs. Our contracts would basically be thrown out the window

[worktotime]

maybe a new c.e.o ?
