Royal Mail seeks record number of Christmas temps due to surge of online shopping during the pandemic

More than 13,000 mail centre sorting posts are available in England, about 1,400 posts in Scotland, 700 posts in Wales and 500 posts in Northern Ireland.

"We want to do our best to deliver Christmas for our customers and support the effort on the pandemic.Online shopping surge In September, the industry body for online retailers warned that firms may struggle to cope if consumers leave ordering presents until the last minute.Andy Malcahy of the IMRG stressed that there was no need for shoppers to panic buy, but said: "If you can spread out your shopping and do quite a lot of it in November, maybe even a bit of it now, then that would really help."

Oh good even more Diesel vans delivering single items

That's the mail misdirected and lost over xmas then, they won't be trained before January

Record amount of stolen PS5's and mass COVID events incoming!!!🤡

They'll still lose all my post...

Great mail centres will be breeding grounds for COVID this xmass.

Threads like this just prove that Britain are leading the way in moaning bar stewards. Get a life FFS

I guess it depends on the area where you live.

하나님의 뜻을 온전히 지킨 자, 거의 온전히 지킨 자, 아주 많이 지킨 자, 어느 정도 지킨 자, 적게 지킨 자, 아예 지키지 않은 자 중에서 천국에 합당한 자는 오직 온전히 지킨 자입니다. 온전히 지키는 자는 오직 성령의 불을 받은 자입니다.

As i said that’s only 3 months work. Its hard to get support whilst job centres remain closed & you have cut support to citizen advice bureaus. You will end up making people worse off without an ounce of regret.

Good! jobs for some lucky people

And how many Post office managers had been sued and businesses collapsed over a software problem

The end goal of the pandemic revealed by the WEF: 'Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, 'our city'. I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.'

will be shown how far blacks have come in Britain & how they have made the UK a better place to live BRITAIN WINDRUSH GENERATIONS Must be 90% now & most victims are white Mothers or school children

The effort to recruit more hands by the postal service is the right step in the right direction even if it is temporarily seasonally meant to last. All across the country, except in NI, the prospect of an online Yuletide shopping spree is not only COVID-safe, but also guaranteed.

Maybe if the hadn't sacked record numbers of long term staff (15+ years targeted) over menial offences, to save on pensions, they'd not need to do this. Vile company

Hope they’ll have plenty of space to maintain social distancing or have safety measures in place for all these extra staff.

Oh good maybe the delivery service will improve

I can't understand why anybody would choose Royal Mail when online shopping if they had any choice. They have a VERY long way to go to catch up with ANY of the other delivery options out their these days

I would actually love to drive their hgvs but you need 2 years experience, yet no one will give me any experience so..... Here we are. nationaldrivershortage

the bbc stated a week ago that covid stayed on paper and steel for up to 28 days. so why aint they wearing gloves ?

Visiting Oxfordshire, everywhere safe and buzzy, why would the LP want to close it down just because idiots in Manchester can’t behave?

RyanCrumbz there you go fella

Load of BS. My partner applied for it and they've said no. Can't be looking for that many more as they weren't 'successful at this time'

No masks, no gloves...

This God shit is everywhere 🙄

Wales must be seeing a huge surge. Jeff Bezos should personally bump elbows with Mark Drakeford to tell him that socialism does work for the many and not the few.

Wonder if they still treat temps like 💩.

Congratulations!!!Very well done!!! Best Wishes God blessing you all🇮🇳💕💥

Royal Mail to hire record number of Christmas temps33,000 extra workers to help handle surge in parcels from online shopping all these people in crisis and dying of cover, millions on the run for poverty and political reason and we think spending ...lets buy nothing, celebrate each other and be together were we can and share food with homeless and the poor for a REAL Christmas. Love overdose this year! Well I remember it in my student days. This is very worrying. I know they need extra workers to get the post out, but the Mail Centre I work in isn't Covid secure as it is. Add another 200 - 300 people to that mix and it'll be a disaster.
