RMC criticised by RM Management

[bandit650]

We belong in a democratic society and as we have been told we have the freedom of speech,we may express our views as that is our democratic right,if Moya and the Management don't like what is being said then that's ok that is their democratic right but i would like to ask,
Why are so many Local Rag's reporting the displeasure of their local community's about not getting their post?
Why is it being reported about local community's having their local delivery office taken away?
Why is it that in the press local or national they are reporting the UN-ease of people who pay for a service and not getting it?
You can see the evidence on the internet just by searching under the heading of Royal Mail! and new working methods! all i can say is if the management don't like the fact that RMC is here and it is our intranet outside of the business then do something about your poor work practices of putting revisions in that do not work,Listen to your work force they really would prefer to give a service instead of the poor mismanaged effort that has been put in place,the ground staff know their job they do it they don't just sit in ivory towers pretending to know and if you ask your staff they will tell you if it is right or wrong they really only want the best!
The only other thing that i would ask is
Why have a Bullying and Harassment policy if you encourage your managers on a daily basis to use it against your Employee's? beating people up because you as a business have got it wrong is not exceptable or right!
Here endith my rant at freedom and what is the best thing that happened to Postal Staff RoyalMailChat!

Bandit650 is right. Freedom of expression is something our Union should be upholding.

The public, including us, own RMG and it is our public duty to blow the whistle on wrongdoings inside RMG because complaining to the management and the Union gets us nowhere.

When a NEC member comes to your office and tells members not to take notice of "internet forums" instead of arguing the points raised on internet forums, it looks like the CWU does not support free speech.

For a lot of us, RMC is our branch. If you speak to someone face to face and they continually tell you lies, as is the experience of a lot of posters on this site, what can you do?

At least on here, they have to lie in front of a wider and more clued up audience who won't let them get away with it.

We do have free speech here in the UK.
Trouble is, it's the same brand of free speech much favoured by tyrants of both left and right, such as Hitler and Stalin.
You can say what you like, only so long as I like what I hear. I don't much know about the politics of free speech, but my maternal grandfather didn't die in 1944 for that, that much I do know.

Pardon my ignorance but is this a `Social Networking Site`. I always thought Twitter & Facebook were those things and I`ve never been on them. It still amazes/worries me how few posties can be bothered to look on here - I almost feel like a trouble maker keeping myself informed on the latest management cons.

Well RM have opened a new site for employees called "Myroyalmail" perhaps it would be interesting to see if they could top the 8 MILLION hits this site has had - however it doesn't have an "HaveYourSay" element. What could happen though is that employees visit that site then discuss the merits or not of the relevant articles on this site. RMC may even be given a mention.....................eventually.

It must be killing some of the Senior managers if they get reports from their IT guys about the myroyalmail site. I am betting a fair portion of their back links are coming from RMC.

Perhaps we should start visiting "Myroyalmail" and make Constructive and Positive comments? Then if we're not Positive enough they'll start getting slagged down by RM Management!

[Stormproof]

I'm surprised RM has'nt offered POSTMAN ££'s for the site name & domain...........or maybe they have

Well maybe you're right DP, but who has the time to try to find something positive or constructive to say?

That would be excellent - then he could start another one like RoyalMailBackChat from the proceeds.

[MinisterofCucumber]

May I just add to the way we are dealt with by the directors. During a meeting on proposed revisions and lump sum payments. This is what they stated:

"I've got 300 million paaaaand! here for your members"!

That is what we are up against as trade unionists.

Did they wave a wad as well?

Not exactly dignity and respect, is it?

This is the sort of information that should be shared and RMC is the best forum for sharing it.

EXCELLENT POST

Please take note RM if you are reading, we are not all just a bunch of A...h...s who just whinge for the sake of it. We value our job and are engaged, but are genuinally concerned the way you are leading the buisness,.... Our livelyhood...... Some of us want a job with RM in future and the way you are leading it there will not be a Royal Mail

I often wonder the same Brains. I think you'll find that there's a large number of Posties that are quite happy with the Status Quo, and don't feel the need to try and find some answers to their problems. I personally never worried about working for RM when I was treated "Fairly", it only become a problem when they started to take the piss!

It's also worth remembering, that if they're so worried about the negative comments on here. They can always register, and argue their case. RMC is open to EVERYONE who's interested in RM, so long as they don't break the rules. Whether they're Customers, Posties, Press, OR Managers.
