HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE TAKE AS A OFFICE ??

Post by knackeredjointsRUS »

With our revision completed ( all our input was ignored may I add ) the task of going to work on a daily basis is boarding on horrific , every morning I get up and try and think of a excuse not to go in, I've mentioned this to other people and it seems to be widespread. Our union rep is useless and is just a puppet for the managers who intimidate us virtually on a daily basis questioning our individual performances and are always comparing us to each other is also a common event. The duties are way too big and the chance of completing on or before time is impossible, the workloads are astronomical for example today between two of us ( fairly busy day ) 22bags of mail for 12 loops, 5 S/D's, 16 tracked, 12 sign for plus 10+ large packets all this to be done in a 4 hour window !! officially the duties have been timed at 3 hrs 15 roughly each .. :crazy: where they got those times from I just don't know, when we questioned the planner at the time we were just fobbed off :arrrghhh . There are arguments every single day and the work place is a s**t hole to work in also in my eyes this is only going to get worse cos I feel we have no support or backing from OUR union. :shock:
who's more the fool, the fool , or the fool that follows the fool ?

If you don't want to work over your time then don't, tell your lino/DOM that you can't complete and let them sort it out.

I agree sometimes we all try too hard by the sounds of it this postal worker is at that stage where the effort he/she has expended has not been appreciated nor even paid for time will come we will all work for nothing and be treated as the slaves we deserve as we will not say NO!

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.

You should all put in a grievance and if this is not sorted, do the same as Bridgewater, Coventry North, Plymouth etc and ballot for industrial action.

You state your union rep is useless!! I think this is the case in a lot of D.O,s... I hold my hands up!!! I have a bee in my bonnet about the CWU. In my opinion they must see the access workload THEIR MEMBERS are faced with. They are doing nothing to address this.I must add though the staff dont help the situation either by comming in early and not taking breaks and running around walks.
