[arnold cheshire]

Gents , looks like I am getting dismissed re no seat belt .If I resigned what notice do I give and what would I be entitled to , sweet face no doubt , 38 years service , thanx in advance

Please don't resign. You will be playing into their hands and will have no recourse to employment tribunal except for constructive/forced resignation. Also if you needed access to benefits you cannot claim any for 28 weeks as by resigning you have made yourself unemployed. There is a way round that and if it happens PM me and I will sort you out but it shouldn't come to that. Good luck.

Never resign

Never resign

Why not?

[Brandy]

Oh dear,oh dear after 38 years service,what has RM become? They should be ashamed.

[Navalron]

Never resign

Why not?

Would you resign after 38 years in the job for a stupid thing like what were talking about?.

You'd be daft handed in your resignation .When you could get a two year serious . And you'd get no benefits

But that wasn't the question. Arnie Cheshire said "Never resign"
If the blade looks like it is going to drop sometimes it is better to walk away.
I would prefer to go to my next employment interview saying I had resigned rather than saying I was sacked.

What you call a stupid little thing is ultimately a sackable offence. Clearly there is bad blood in the office.
After 38 years in the job, the OP must be at least mid fifties. Would I want that sort of hassle day in day out, knowing there is a target on my back?
Life is too short. There are better things to do.

Well never resign under the circumstances clash

Not even illegal if driving a goods vehicle on deliveries that is travelling no more than 50 metres between stops.

I really don't know why people insist on repeating this little nugget of nothingness.
RM policy is to wear the seat belt at all times.

I know it is royal mail policy to wear the seat belt but thought it was harsh to dismiss someone with 38 service for this. Posties should stick together not think its ok to get sacked for something like this.

You should fight it, don`t give up so easily

[Ciderboy1957]

I understand when u say fight it but no excuses for failing to wear it !

I except u thing u are to blame, but it is really being petty, as people on here have said people tie the seatbelt round the seat &. Worse, is there something your not saying because it seems there out io get u. You’ve being there a long time the job is crap, the staff not much better but surely u don’t want to go this way

[Postie45]

surely someones been caught with no seatbelt in the area before, your area union rep would know. If it hasnt resulted in sacking then its harder for RM to justify sacking on this occasion.
