Re: van share & sickness.
Why would you ?
Are you afraid of swine flu ? Just by being in the same office as someone with a cold means your most likley to get it anyway

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Why are you doing van share the CWU and R/M have not set out any guidelines for the use of S/V duties.

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.

Re: van share & sickness.
As a non driver who isn't interested in driving it means that the whole thing falls on it's a**e when the driver goes sick. And yes there are quite a few people who can't drive through 1 reason or another.

Don't do that, you'll just get to go down the conduct code and probably sacked BUT certain medications can mean that you're unable to drivebexhil palace wrote:If you are driver have a few cans before work and tell the dim youv'e had a late night, and are over the limit.
