Delivered by Royal Mail

Post by POSTMAN »

Word on the street is "Delivered by Royal Mail" will be on every letter that goes through our sorting equipment from mid September this year.

Dave Ward has said...
“As competition increases, stamping the post delivered by Royal Mail will help the public understand they still deliver the final mile. Postal workers deserve recognition for the job they do and this exercise will help.”

Moya...
“Our people have often asked why we don’t put our mark on the post. It is rightly important to them that their role in delivering the mail to communities throughout the UK is fully recognised. We have listened to our people and responded.”

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.

And it will achieve ... nothing. People know who it was delivered by. They haven't cared about the rest for years, and guess what? They probably won't have a frigging clue what this clever backhand jibe is meant to mean.

Does the new WSM's have a ink printing facility built into them then? DSA does'nt go through any other machine, unless they want us to hand stamp every letter before we start prepping :left:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Printed the same time as the orange bar code dots ?
Or Royal Mail will only accept DSA with that already printed on it ?
And why wasn't it on from the very start of DSA several years ago ?

They'll probably stamp it all over the addresses, like those damn stickers you have to spend half hour a day removing to see where the letters are supposed to go! :roll:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Too little too late. How much will this cost anyway, considering how they are slashing everything. Bet its part of the privitisation plan. Let the public know what we deliver, then say it needs to be done to safeguard it. Or maybe i am just cynical!!!

does that mean on deliver these items will be taken into consideration when you tell them you are struggling to complete your p&l delivery as we are constantly being told that the traffic is down and you can do extra but all the dsa do not go through our mail centres so are not accounted for , or even better tell em to deliver it themselves.

It'll be printed as it goes through the iLSMs, and the originators of the DSA mail be be required to print it on thier envelopes too.

DSA is always counted in the daily traffic; if it wasn't, some days RM would only count about 200 letters through the network... :whistle
