Any problem in your delivery office?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

No written down rules or regulations... we use common sense.. finishing the delivery is the most important... 4 jobs lapsing ... OK we will do it ... Joe is dong those streets and Tom is taking out this part ... and Dick .. today you will do that part of business .... and tomorrow ... Harry will do so and so ..... and thats the way we work..... if we stil can not do it .. then one of the manager would take it out and finish the delivery. Working together with respect is in our delivery office.

I want a transfer, thats how Royal Mail should work a bit of give and take, the rules designed to guide not to be enforced. The strange thing is RM can't see that rigidly enforcing the rules, and sticking to every comma and full stop when it suits them, only encourages the Union to do exactly the same. Managing by numbers ignores the Human element and at some point the Human element will rebel.

Can you rember when GPO was broken and BT came in .... what happend to their local union reps.? )

They are still there - they are part of the Telecoms Department of the Union. In fact they had a dispute in 2010 which was eventually sorted without a strike.

Royal Mail is going into new era .... privatisation... it will be a new goal and post ... forget about the past .. new "owner" will not tolerate present behaviour of any side ... There will be no room for bullying from management and come to think of it ( in many cases) ... from CWU local reps.

There will be no room for bullying from management.

There will be no need.
They will hold all the cards,We will hold none.
If you don't like it,there is the door will be a phrase you will need to get used to.

Your little "Stepford Wives" Delivery Office,If it really does exist will be destroyed because your friendly managers won't be so friendly when all the power is in their hands and all the pressure to save money is coming down on top of their heads.

I've seen good managers turn into arseholes and good offices turn into shitholes all because of an increase in pressure or a subtle change in employer/employee dynamics and what is around the corner as far from subtle.

In our office we have 60 deliveries and 3 managers. We are lapsing 4 jobs daily . No moaning and groaning . Our DOM and 2 line managers are very understandable , gentlemen and nice guys. No bullying or unpleasantness from managers. Our working days off have been cut to more or less zero but every body is happy and I am sure if lapsing increase to 6 jobs , our staff will stil do it without any objection.

What a lovely post from Courier land,I bet everybody is smiling eh,and busy cleaning their LWT ready for the next days self sacrifice.

Yeah. That's a stark reality. I'm glad I'm out of it.

This is a major piss take.

The sentiment is good though

It is got to be crammy in disguise

[dvbuk55]

Think about few years into future ... after full privatisation .. CWU will have no or any place in the business. These local union rep. will not have present "powers" they enjoy now.... and with out these union reps. one way to solve local office problems would be to get together with management and talk. ( Can you rember when GPO was broken and BT came in .... what happend to their local union reps.? )

I give in but I can guarantee that on privatisation your cosy little arrangement won't last the course, softy managers will either get tough or get gone and a small office will soon become part of a super DO.
