We’ve got something a bit different for you this week.
Instead of our usual show, we’re bringing you a full-length special: Posties Speak Out, an unfiltered chat, filmed at Southend Delivery Office, one of the pilot sites for changes to the USO.
This one’s straight from the shop floor. No scripts. No spin. Just real talk direct from members who are delivering the service, day in, day out, and know the job best.
Luke Elgar, CWU Postal and National Executive Council Member, sits down with colleagues Robin Bartlett, CWU rep of 34 years, and Olivia Barnard, an engaged member newer to the role.
They chat openly about the Universal Service Obligation, the Křetínský takeover, pay talks, and what all this means for the future of Royal Mail.
I expect to hear the truth all day every day as a matter of course. Isn't this basically admitting they've been shovelling BS in all previous instalments?
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
Is Dave Ward still pushing for us to support the elderly or people in need? It came up in the video that he is....
Is he totally unaware that we are pressured to get on with the job and deliver, we don't have time to spend 20 minutes talking to Doris. What money is the company making from us checking in on Doris for the NHS? This is a private company, Dave.
Manager: 'So why have you brought back 40 minutes worth of work'
Postie: 'I spent 10 minutes with Vera, 10 minutes with John, and 20 minutes with Doris.
This happens nationwide....Ofcom fine Royal Mail £10million for failing the USO.
It doesn't seem very real, like everyday real. Nods and winks to the state of shop floor and delivery. But it's all down to us to just suck it up.
Unconvincing.
That's got to have been the worst yet. Members are spending their hard earn't wages bank rolling this s**t? The CWU is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Must have cost a fortune to question 2 posties and stick it on YouTube, disgraceful waste of our subs.
