TWO employees at Carlisle’s postal sorting office have been suspended over allegations of interference with the checks that make sure letters are arriving on time.

Royal Mail confirmed two members of staff at the Junction Street depot had been suspended as part of a wider investigation centring on Glasgow.

The claims that prompted the probe came through Postcomm, the independent regulator for postal services.

Royal Mail said they concerned possible tampering with the measurement of “quality of service performance” in Scotland.

Royal Mail is understood to use a range of monitoring measures.

These include methods such as placing tags into envelopes and scanning them when they reach their destination to record the arrival time.

It has not been disclosed what type of checks the allegations concern.

A statement issued by the company to the News & Star confirmed an investigation was underway.

It said: “Royal Mail is investigating allegations concerning its mail operations in the Glasgow area.

“The allegations, received via Postcomm, relate to the possibility of interference in the measurement of Royal Mail’s quality of service performance in this area.

“Two members of staff in Carlisle have been precautionarily suspended as part of the ongoing investigation.”

So the rotten octopus that is Glasgow has spread its tentacles even further.
Isn't it time for the press to report this story instead of beginning every report with "in a dispute over pay".

this is what causes a lot of resentment - OK - the papers have to be careful about litigation but either it's a manager or it isn't

Wanagers who were caught in GLASGOW are known to have passed on their cheating methods to MANCHESTER and perhaps popped into CARLISLE for a chat Oh and didnt one of these GLASGOW wanagers once work in CARLISLE. A nice cosy relationship me thinks

I think it's all this " We're all a team " b***ocks , er yeah right ! from RM , funny idea of a team , everyone at each other's throats . RM would be very quick to blame / smear the blue shirts when it suited them .

This is a symptom of all that is wrong in RM management. And I think this could and should be linked to all the other bad managerial practices (B&H bonuses etc)

[postghost]

Why is this not on the national news?

Dont the public have a right to know about these indivduals fiddling the system akin to bankers and the politicians expenses scandal?

UPDATE Both innocent parties are now safely back at the office and taking care of selling carlisle down the river (preston to be precise)
Happy times ahead for one and all
