Non drivers saturday

Post by hans solo »

On the non drivers sat off should the duty be covered or lapsed
Mgmt not covering day off as not required
If correct should the non drivers have every sat off🤔🤔

The number of duties required on a Saturday is reduced. However there should still be enough duties to carry out tasks such as advanced prep. That's part of the agreement. The unaddressed mail should be prepped on a Saturday for all duties, for all week.

Will the D2D still go out to DOs for Saturdays or will RM end up either holding them at the Inward MC or upstream of the inward MC?

The work plan is that the contracts are prepped on a Saturday. At least one rotation is designed to allow advanced preparation of unaddressed mail. On that basis the workload will need to be in workplaces so it can be prepped.

If there are no contracts then there will be advanced prep on the workload that is in the office.

Absolutely. Martin Walsh stated that.

It's not going to work like that, the extra work for the rurals and any outdoor duty not in a POD will have extra work added during the planning that will be the same every day. Possible solutions include doing an extra loop/street to help balance the workload or large parcels for the POD groups also possibly doing extra indoor work like advanced prep/IPS. There will be no ad hoc coming back early to be given the extra later.

That wont work. The agreement is about stability and reliability. The set up will be based on groupings of walks. The chaos of scrapping the duty structure should end. There won't be a walk for everyone but there will be floaters and leave reserves that will need filling.
