Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

According to RMs own security rules everybody on a RM site should wear their ID at all times................but when have we heard that RM say one thing and then don't enforce it, :hmmmm :chuckle

They only enforce it if it costs nothing - like "weigh your bags" or else. :nana

ID badges, a waste of money, a waste of time, a total and utter nonsense. Do I feel more secure? Do I hell.

They're not for you to feel secure, they're supposed to identify you as having the right to be on the premises.............I know, never was a problem in the past but that's management for you :wink:

Plus the ID's have the RFID chip in them so you can use them to gain access to you building :nervous

Not up our way they don't - no chip ...

If you've got one of the photo ones then it does have a chip in it. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there...........and yes they are out to get you :nervous :chuckle :chuckle
