Postal workers in the UK are complaining about new pressures from Royal Mail urging them to "walk at 4mph" (over a previous target of 2.4mph) to complete their rounds faster under cost-saving measures. Apparently the row has come in part as a result of a Canadian software system adopted by Royal Mail which is used to plan delivery walks.
What with mail backlogs, lost post and theft, Royal Mail is getting to be a complete mess. I doubt that this new measure will improve the good will of the posties (or their treatment of our post), or improve efficiency.
