HELP

[ianpostie]

I am a Watford C&N driver,but have been through the whole system in my 29 years service,just gone back on the 600cf early morning DO runs after 17 years on the same walk.I have stated on more than one occasion about my collegues at Watford,well today they were given a talking to at 6am,usual sh1te,must be prepped by 08.20-m/r then out on the vans,needless to say some walks just can not get prepped by the stated times,also usual threat about must'nt cut off unless you have a good excuse,threatened with stoppage of pay as well.

Management at Watford also have a severe panick on as they are due for another visit from the local mayor and local mp Clare Ward,so they have got managers in from all over the show to try and clear the backlog(yes there is still a big backlog,just come back from 2 weeks leave and expected to see the office cleared,but i was gobsmacked at the amount of backlog)it was amusing to see them studying their maps of the area,i really can not believe the amount of extra staff and hired vans that have been used.

RM way above the management at Watford are behind what is being done at our mail center,they are desperate to get us out on unofficial IA.RM are giving the impression to the general public that they are trying to clear up the backlog and its the postman at fault,due to the strikes,they were 6 weeks ago for gawds sake,the reason is the RM has not got the facilities to cope when the job is done properly.

Not wishing to be bigheaded,but Watford is a millitant office and if RM break Watford Delivery Office and Mail Center,god help the rest,RM will steamroller their changes through.

one of my managers told me he was offered overtime to do a delivery at watford on sunday,fair play to him he said no-and he also said the reason im not doing it is because after rm have finished with you posties they will come after us managers which is a very good point.at our do we always get the info first hand from a watford driver and our office voted on the ban of cars a few weeks back and i'd say 80% have stuck to it (you always get a few that go the other way).interesting that at wtl this morning the staff were informed that everyone that had gone back on a bike were now banned from using there cars in the future,maybe the people that still use there cars will be put under a little pressure to go with the majority.funny isnt it that you have watford,our do,waltham x,and a few others in our area that support the cwu wholeheartdly and then hatfield do that have gone on to later starts,are they crackers or what?

Likewise I would also like to add my respect and that of my colleagues north of the border (Jockland) to our under pressure but sure at steadfast colleagues in Watford. Keep the faith lads and lassies and as dodger71 has rightly said you are indeed the example that we should all follow.

Yes.........Another day of fun at Watford,managers galore today again doing packet deliveries and walks.I know its been said before,but what sort of jobs have they got in RM,there are some right cushy little numbers managers must have,i reckkon on 40 managers and another huge influx of casuals as well,it was reported some managers have come from as far Peterborough and Dartford,at the weekend a Brighton manager was in helping out.

Who will RM use and what will the RM do,if the Postman withdrew their goodwill nationwide and stopped useing their cars,had pouches dropped out to them.....ect ect.

Do these managers not realise that after us,RM will be starting on them by installing team leaders who will be posties,so no need for so many line managers and what about their pensions....are they not in the same scheme as us!!!!!!!!!!!
