ITS ALL OUR PLACE TO STOP AN ACCIDENT,,, H&S IS EVERYBODYS JOB.... REMEMBER THIS WHEN THE FIRE ENGINES COME AND THEY SHUT THE OFFICES DOWN.....


OUT :speak to the hand :wave :cuppa :crazy: :lfo :cfo :whistle :angel :Applause :Very Happy :left: :wave
Ahh, nice..just thought of something.

I had a rant earlier about why couldn't the CWU counter RM in the courts (remember last weeks ruling about the unlawful strikes?)....so how's about H&S inspectors are tipped off and perhaps some kind of lawsuit is filed against RM...it doesn't matter a f**k if "we caused it" - Health and Safety (especially nowadays) are the rules - if you can't follow them.......

big question is if all these managers are doing our jobs then just what do they do when not doing our jobs ?

Don't know what they do, but one thing for sure THEY can not do our jobs properly, its alleged that one highly paid senior manager really went at the job today? put about 10 pkts in a van pissed off on delivery came back and then pissed of HOME? Well done that person?

We've had a notice for O/T Sorting on Sunday in our DO - there are very, very few takers.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Don't think they will pay o/time for clearing backlog, they say it's rewarding you for strike action, so if you did o/time before...tell em to stick it!!!

Backlog Hub Closing

Post by Jimi »

Just heard that warehouse near Oldham which they were using to sort backlog is closing after only 4 days, from what we can gather it’s something to do with Postcon not being happy about the way Royal Mail is delaying the work by not dealing with the mail sequentially. :oops:
