Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

It isn't OK to pop an item in a post box.
It isn't the correct pouching off procedure.
When you sign the security book I believe it specifically mentions not reintroducing mail into the pipeline.

Security book? What security book?
