......Oh, probably involvement by some self-righteout over militant union branch secretary(s) probably doesn't help......like i've said in another post, you really do have to thing of Carry on at your Convenience(shop steward looking for any reason he can to take the workers out on strike).
If it was fear of change thats stopping this we wouldn't have switched to single deliveries 4 years ago
I think what Ginge may mean is that RM where talking of delivering later in the day. Basically there will be a sorting shift of 8am - 11am, though this shift wont be needed once the walksort machines come in. Then deliveries 12pm until Finishing time (Should be 4pm based on current delivery lengths but they are planning to extend some of those further).

Theres a lot of opposition to the above because that assumes no full time workforce (Something which RM have promised wont happen), it also means that during the summer we will be out in the hottest part of the day and during winter we will likely still be out when its going dark.
