I was told last week that they now intend incorporating parcelforce into the business more. The tupeing is cancelled.
High risk, high reward. Back to 40p then.................... Hopefully.
Not sure where this Christmas every day comes from. The company have said parcels up 31% letters down 33%. I don't see sick levels returning to normal. Once the 12 weeks is up it will be another 12 weeks and then another. This virus is with us for years.
Couldn't the same have been said a year ago when the SP was much higher?
Come on TP sort our SWW. I want to go home early tonight.
"some real disastrous unknown news" how about next results?
Weren't the 3 large centres for tracked and over sized only? The advantage for management of mechanisation is that for workers there's nowhere to hide . For manual workers in my mail centre almost everyone takes extended breaks and is free to stop and chat to a mate if they please. It's always been like that. I recall being told to slow down several times by old timers, when I first started. What's the motivation for working harder? Don't say " because you might lose your job". My country needs me, the CWU understand that. The only way I will ever lose my job is if the bloke next to me starts working twice as hard. So no stick and no carrot.
I don't recall how much they cost but I remember thinking when we got our £4m fsm that it would take a lot of saved man hours to pay for it.
We got our machine in 2019. Just too many parcels to put through one machine. We could probably squeeze another in by reducing primary sort but we would still need a full secondary manual sort set up. I'm not saying it doesn't improve productivity but not by much. I'm not sure how for it can break down the inward sort but I doubt that it walk sorts. It will take a long time to recoup the costs associated with buying and installing it.
The problem we have with our psm is too many rejects and it doesn't sort fast enough so we don't have time to put the outward 1st class through. We would need four machines to get it all through but we don't have the space. It's pointless putting some through and still having a full manual sort so we just put inward through.
It's a shame that the more parcels we get the more money we lose.
thomasbrowne, " there will be a large number of people still to afraid to visit the high street" you lost your credibility there. It's too afraid not to afraid. Your illiterate de- ramping is pointless . It will be up tomorrow.
Are you having a larf wolves? CWU have just won the war. We, and I say we as we members are the union which includes you wolves ( I think?), are stronger than ever now. As for a takeover, it would not be allowed. RM is an essential service controlled by its employees.
