Are MPs banned from visiting RM offices this year

Post by Spartacus »

Heard that all enquiries about MPs visiting sorting offices have to be pre approved by RM PR people.

Can't have the MPs seeing the truth about prioritising packets and parcels now can we, the union should invite them in and let them see the letters piling up under delivery frames.
Delivery

Resistance is fertile

Lucy Powell doesn't seem to be interested that her constituents have not been receiving daily post for almost four years now.

I wouldn't worry. I'm sure Royal Mail could clear some space for a few Tory MPs to pop in, just after they've been and got a few selfies at an 'uplifting' food bank.

Management would block it because they can't afford the truth to get out .

There's a point . What the hell is Ofcom doing . Why no investigations into what's going on ?

My MP is a Tory, so he probably wouldn't dare.

They have, but they've brushed it under the 'Cornavirus' blanket....

next Royal Mail will be able to brush their failure to commit to the USO by saying there were strikes.

At some point Royal Mail will have no excuses anymore and will have to stick to the rules, maybe they won't maybe they'll just accept any fine they get if it's worth it for them financially.

I don't think any MP would get in any office safely with the amount of yorks and mail being thrown about the place.

Why don't OFCOM do random inspections of RM offices with zero warning to check for any breeches of the USO?
