At a guess because there won't be enough time to sort/prep and deliver the 2 duties?

Then that will be the case on every day, not just a Saturday. Or is it people don't want others to have more Saturdays off?

[Acca Dacca]

Why would Saturdays be any different to any other day when 1 person is doing the 1C letters and packets for 2 duties? It will literally be happening every other day of the week.

Well there wont be 2 in a van doing that during the week, it'll just be 1 person so why would there be 2 doing it on a Saturday?

That's what I'm saying!

If it 'works' on weekdays then Saturday would be no different.

I've got no problem with people getting more Saturdays off. I don't think it's fair but that's not my fight. I also know people who would rather not have them because they wouldn't be able to keep their 9 day fortnight or their Wallington week with this new system

My mistake, I was told van shares were still part of the plan

[funkflex55]

Van shares are still part of the plan Monday to Friday for the core route posties doing 2 walks of 2/3 days mail, parcels and everything else. On Saturday it'll be single postie doing first class mail, parcels and everything else for 2 walks.

Pay rise be worth nothing because most will lose a day's money a week.

[LouBarlow]

There is not a chance that one postie could deliver first class, all parcels, specials collections etc alone on a saturday on my round. We get over 200 tracked alone between us a day, plus 10+ specials, multiple collections etc. I can’t be alone. I’m guessing others get more than that easily.

Yes I agree my office we six days a week as area of lots of mail we drop to five days a week won't get done over 3 or 2 days for the 2nd class when you put in dpr also or heavy xmas times mail gets done three times a week .

[Rommagic]

Dpr and xmas cover,leave is 4 months a year and that's not with everyone taking a day off a week.

[GaryLawler]

Yep my cwu rep and my bosses say this will be a disaster, but what can we do when we have high ranking cwu folk who have never done a walk in 20 years and high ranking management who haven't ever done a walk at all. Looks good all the colours in the picture etc, in real life gonna be messy

Format 3 and 4 on DPR? Also won’t it be 1st class parcels on Saturday’s?

No mention of this in the live session was there? Probably settle for a below inflation 2% rise brought in around September with a small back payment to keep the surfs happy.
