The CWU let's it's members do whatever they want despite knowing full well what that means when things go wrong. So yeah, the CWU is to blame.

You prioritised the special by keeping it seperate ( although they should be kept completely seperate from your general mail - you messed up a bit here)
You tried your best to rectify your mistake, then you immediately owned up to it.
You didn't, from what you've said, seriously disregard the security of mail procedure or anything else.
Mistakes happen, occasionaly even with specials. You'll be fine.

Are you basing that on the tracking?TooManyLoops wrote: ↑17 Dec 2025, 19:44No

There's always the chance that it was mis-delivered or dropped and someone has found it and posted it through the customers door.

If nothing has been said yet, it maybe was delivered by someone else.

Re: Lost Special
I’m intrigued by your perspective. The CWU is a voluntarily joined organisation that provides invaluable guidance and negotiates on behalf of its members, whether advocating for an individual or representing the entire workforce, including non-members. Notably, their literature does not claim any disciplinary authority over members, even when they choose to ignore the union's advice. This brings to mind the timeless saying: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.tramssirhc wrote: ↑17 Dec 2025, 16:12
