I am sure there has to be limitations to ones physical capability and I believe we are being pushed beyond what is reasonable. Accidents become more frequent after 4 hours non stop walking and that is a fact. The revision is exhausting postal workers and I believe it's just a matter of time before we have drivers falling asleep at the wheel.
Of course there has to be cut backs but RM are doing it all wrong. It is no wonder morale is low!

Does not matter how much work they give him, he still does not have to work past his normal finishing time.
