when someone is off, they have people whos job it is to cover holidays. obviously they dont know the route as well, so can take longer. if there's no one to cover it, another postie will do it after their route. you can thank that ex-FA twat we've got in charge Adam Crozier, as well as Alan Leighton, those cunts take the piss. they've all but broken the union and are ragging us up the pooper for every bit of money they can.
they both harp on about saving us money, but Crozier is the best paid civil cervant in the UK by quite some margin. his yearly bonus (which he seems to take regardless of how we perform) is almost as much as his salary. cunts.
