What % of staff that do not drive for Royal Mail actually hold a UK driviung licence?
Even those that do not, nothing stopping them from applying for a driving licence
With lessons £40 a shot now and tests booked up months and months in advance I dont think thats fair to say given you dont know everyones circumstances
The question being asked is what % of employees actually have a driving licence and have decided for whatever reason not to drive for Royal Mail
During the initial Pilot scoping exercises, offices had to identify non-drivers and differentiate between those with no licence and those who have a licence but don’t drive for RM.
So they now have an accurate number of non-drivers. In my office 50% of those who were listed as non-drivers, can drive. Those are the people who will be driven out of a job because they have a choice.

I have a driving license and I was employed way before it was needed to work for Royal Mail.

I have never driven for them and i never will.
I’d rather take vr.
CR is more likely, I would have thought.
VR is much more likely than CR
CRs and all the complications they bring are always a last resort
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next
With the mail piling up also, it’s probably one of the best and most secure jobs in Royal Mail if you’re a passenger in a shared van. Added benefit of your duties having to be fully staffed each day as you can’t exactly drive a van if you don’t drive.
Your post is not a serious analysis of the position of non drivers in Royal Mail.
You are stating that non-drivers are one of the 'most secure jobs' in Royal Mail yet the Union have revealed that Royal Mail wants non-drivers to be first to be discarded with in their new USO plans.
I've not seen anything to back that up, apart from a post on here hinting at it.
I don't think for a minute that RM would care about any driving staff feeling annoyed if/when non driving staff move to a Mon-Fri with every Saturday off. Also, it's not non driving staffs fault that going forward Saturdays seem to have been chosen as the 1 day a week where no 'all items' runs go out, i.e tracked and 1C letters only. If there was such a perilous threat for non driving staff (and the CWU losing tens of thousands of subs per week) the CWU would be pressing for training as part of any talks, way before any equalisation etc.
There was reference to the subject in the CWU Representatives Brief on the DRP:
What additional things are contained within the Royal Mail's DRP?

MTSF - moving workplaces and non-drivers will be considered surplus.
