Fully resourced before implementation

Post by FirstPost »

The agreement says this but my office has 10 vacancies in an office of what is meant to be 100, 3 more retiring before the end of the year

If this is voted/pushed in will this still affect offices with recruitment issues?

Your office will be replicated all across the UK, can anybody honestly see RM waiting for all the vacancies to be filled before proceeding if we voted Yes to DM26? It's just more nonsense from the CWU.

I wondered does that mean fully resourced now or for the numbers required post implementation as obviously that's going to be up to 25% less in an office predominantly on van share, and not so much in an office with a load of singletons unless they bolt some together in one van

That does seem quite unfair on other offices, if places where they work 1 to a van come off lightly in all this. There are offices that SHOULD have gone to van share but resisted it, citing 'it didn't work' (does it really 'work' anywhere?). One of the pilot offices I'm sure, 20 odd duties with a van each delivering to a large town with maybe the need for 1 or 2 singles to do the rurals/offices etc.
