JB, I agree with our Italian colleagues.
99% of it is junk mail, in general, the sender doesn't want it back anyway and to be perfectly honest the majority of this mail should have been sold to the customer as D2D. It would have been a win for the customer and a win for RM.

RoyAlMail, I think that you are stretching the point considerably there with RTS being paid, but regardless as most of it is DSA at cheap prices it still costs more to handle and operates at a loss.
We now have RTS that is older than my pants and it has been through the system so many times that it just falls apart as it goes through the machines :-(

JB, happier days indeed. I was at PO for many years until it closed in 2016. Our original Address Management Centre was at The Hard Interchange by Portsmouth Harbour until it moved into the MC around 2003.

Wolves, I'm not concerned about a mass walkout but I am concerned about the democratic process.
ALL members should be allowed to vote freely and without conviction.
I didn't vote to leave the EU, but 51.8% did so I will accept this decision and now looking forward to Halloween.

JB, I also have experience of the RLB at PO before it closed. I have since been transferred to another office under MTSF and still deal with RTS.

I'm appalled at the thought that members are having their mugshot put on FB.
Did they agree to this? I would be livid!

Wolves, I can honestly say "hand on heart" that I haven't heard f one member being forced or coerced or bullied into voting at my office which has around 360 members.
Maybe it's different at your office?

JB, the biggest issue with RTS is that many bulk posters send out "junk" mail using old databases and PAF files as they won't pay RM for an update.
Therefore we get thousands of items daily to process as RTS.
Because 99% is "junk mail" the sender doesn't know that it hasn't been delivered and the addressee doesn't know that it has been sent!

RoyAlMail, we don't generate any revenue from RTS as it has already been paid for, however it is a USO obligation.

Wolves, I don't think that any CWU member is being held at gunpoint and being forced to vote "yes".
Both Royal Mail and the CWU have made their statements to the workforce so it is up to the employees to make their decision. Even if they decide to throw their ballot paper in the bin, they have still made a choice.
To say that CWU members are unaware of the facts and are being ordered to vote makes it out that our workforce are of low intelligent - which they are most certainly not!

JB, I only wish that RM could offload letter box collection mail. I'm also sick of endlessly processing return to sender mail as none of our competitors have to.
Sadly, I cannot see any of our competition queuing up to do this as it definitely nausea up the profit margins.

LOL Fruitster " has a criminal record for hitting a police officer with his son".
Personally, I would be calling Childlike as this sounds like child abuse.
I'm laughing as I write this and have just scared my cats.

Wolves, 30 parcels per hour? Are they all in the same street?
I had a mate who worked for Parceline years ago. He had the Brighton to Shoreham patch and reckoned that 150 separate drops in 8 hours was pretty good going as it could take 5 mins+ to travel from one address to the next sometimes.

Mrs, I have been reading your posts for a couple of days now and I have acknowledged that you are a complete wind up merchant. Some of your posts are do outrageous that I laughed out loud when I read them (adding to the already confused look on the face of the lady sitting opposite me on the train).
I hope that you are not one of those chatbots?

Wolves, at 16:50 you posted "how can they when on a 5yr share plan they want the sp to drop so they can buy shares at a low price??"
If you can only purchase a max of £100 per month, surely you want the share price to be low for 59 months (in order to gain the maximum number of shares) and on month 60 you want the share price to sky rocket? That way you would maximise your profit, and let's be honest that's what everyone on this forum wants???

Falkland, shouldn't your last line read
"The value of your investment may go down or up, please gamble responsibly!"

It looks like RM are putting measures in place by training managers to cover any IA.
My line manager (SB8 on circa £70kpa) has been on a MEWP (mechanically elevated work platform) course so that managers will have the ability to keep the parcel sorting machines going in the event of machine operators and engineers walking out.

Hi JB, no updates from the CWU yet but I will post the link as soon as they release one.
I'm hoping that no news is good news?

Wolvesposty, ok, calm down. Bit over the top from you. It's not like I'm suggesting that we annexe Poland.

Wolvesposty, with regard to the employee share incentive plan we can purchase £100 of shares every month and we also get 2 free shares regardless of the share price. You are quite correct about the fact that they can't be cashed in (tax free) for 5 years but surely it is better to buy them cheap and then hope they go through the roof in 2022?
