End of Alternative Delivery Model hailed by union as Australia Post prepares fresh assault for workers Wednesday June 30 marked the official end of the Alternative Delivery Model (ADM) at Australia Post (AP), but neither management nor the union have advanced a clear plan on what this means for workers.
