There were 30-40 redundancies at head office alone, not because people were idle but simply because it was necessary to cut the business' operating costs. The mail room employed 4 people to sort mail, distribute it round the building and give general support to the facilities department. They had to make one man redundant and the other three had to pick up his share of the load.
In the real world, commercial pressures sometimes require these sorts of things to happen. It's about time that RM workers realised they live in the real world and not in some unionised, utopian vacuum.

Indeed - if they truley cared about their job and was proactive, they would step up to the plate and deal with working 30 minutes to spread the load. I think, RM should look at Jenson Button as an example - took a £3million pound pay cut, paid for all his own travel for the sake of his team - look where that got him.
