RMCS Update

[POSTMAN]

Since Christmas we’ve been working hard to recover from what has been a hugely challenging period due to severe weather conditions throughout much of December coupled with high volumes of seasonal mail. Recovery plans are continuing to progress well and normal service has now been restored across the majority of the country. The impact of prolonged bad weather and the pressure it placed on our network at the busiest time of year, coupled with continued large volumes of mail entering our network since the new year, has resulted in some delays to items moving through our pipeline. We're really sorry and are doing everything we can to minimise delays and deliver mail as quickly as possible.

Regional Update
Normal service has now been restored across the majority of the country. Some areas, detailed below, in Scotland, North of England, the Midlands and South East, are working now and over the weekend to clear, they are:

A list went up on the wall in my office on Thursday to do Packets & Mail tomorrow, they also wanted people for delivery in 2 other offices. Only 3 names on the list out of an office of over 150. Everyone has just had enough and we have'nt even had our revision yet.

It sounds like large numbers of staff are adopting their own work to rule policy ( who needs a union ), it just shows posties will only tolerate so much . . RM need staff to work overtime for the business to keep going . Posties would have to have a sadistic streak to want to work overtime under these conditions . Come on RM management get plan b on the table and end this fiasco .
