At a meeting on 2 March with Comcare, the CEPU and Australia Post it was agreed to extend the terms of reference of Comcare’s review to include a review of SBD on all modes of delivery including walk buggies, bicycle and tricycle rounds.
This is a welcome development as the same CEPU expert consultants who provided the report on SBD for motorcycles have also prepared a report on SBD for the walk buggies, bicycle and tricycle modes of delivery.
This report also raises serious concerns about SBD using these modes of delivery.
In a separate development on SBD the CEPU NSW Branch has organised a consultative process involving branch officials and senior state managers of Post interviewing delivery members undertaking SBD walk buggy delivery.
At these meetings the delivery members performing SBD by walk buggy have been able to provide direct feedback and raise their concerns. This agreed consultative process involved St-Leonards, Frenchs Forest, Alexandria and Leightonfield delivery facilities where SBD is quarantined to 38 walk/buggy rounds. Branch officials have described the discussions at the meetings as being very productive.
Further information on the Comcare review and the consultative process that has commenced in NSW will be provided shortly.
