Deliveries will not be covered

Managers will take their breaks and start and finish on time

Managers will be taking their rest days leaving units with no manger on site

Weekends volunteer operation won't be covered

Units will have no person in control responsible for safety of the staff and buildings

Good will to work extra unpaid hours will cease

Some key services, like next day delivery and tracked items, will be delayed

Postal staff may refuse to cross picket lines or work in unmanaged buildings
Business as usual then.

I can't help but think this will weaken their position. But then again, they fudge numbers, so who knows.

In my unit..

1. Managers haven't delivered mail for a long time as the USO isn't important anymore.
2. Managers have plenty of breaks and don't work over their time
3. Managers always have a day off, they are on a rota and all have regular Saturdays off.
4. Weekend work doesn't need a manager, the callers office has opened for years without a manager on site, and there has often been unsupervised Sunday packet deliveries.
5. See above, an OPG staff key holder secures the site
6. The managers don't have 8 hours of work to complete, so no 'Goodwill' time is needed
7. None of the next day or tracked items are processed or delivered by managers
8. There will be no managers on any picket line.
I was reading that thinking exactly the same thing. Same at our place. Never a manager around on a Saturday when most are returning to office. Never one at all on a Sunday. No manager there after 2pm weekdays when most posties are returning way after this time anywhere up to 5pm as well as collections.

Probably not likely to be an issue as most Managers are too lazy to actually man a picket line
