Matters not, the five day service is here anyway - still no day-off cover nearly three years on.
I have a cover bloke now that I didn't want or ask for. Completely useless. Be careful what you wish for! :cuppa
You'd rather take out two days mail?
Often it's a day and a half so not much difference even though he's "covering" it and at least I didn't have to put up with knowing this skiving idiot was having an easy ride at my expense! :roll:
What, you mean he doesn't complete, is that because the duty is too long or has your office had the latest do your massive absorbtion first ruling applied ?
Neither he just fannies about going as slow as possible! He spends hours in the toilet or walking around avoiding work in the office, so who knows what he does when he's out on the walks? But he always brings something back or leaves work in the frame no matter how light or heavy it is! He hasn't completed it once since he's been on it?
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Better than a floater who runs round your duty, going back early and making it look easier than it is
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

No it isn't, it is just as bad if not worse. We often talk about doing to job properly, and that works both ways. I go in on my time, I take 15 minutes before I go out to have a coffee and then go out. If I have time I do the lapsing, and will happily go back out if get I get back early. There's a hard-core at my office that will flatly refuse to do any lapsing or complete a duty despite having ample time on their (very easy) duties to do so. Problem is we all then get put in that bracket and the sledge hammer to crack a nut approach happens like what is happening now. Like the sick pay, they want to take it away currently because it is taken advantage of by a minority who cost the business a fortune. As a result, we all suffer.

So no pay rise and more lapsing. So the strikes really showed them.

Heard that RM will ditch the uso whether the regulator likes it or not, this mob think they're above the law on everything, very dangerous to be running a business like this. Who controls how they manage the workload to suit their own needs ? Apparently they have correct figures to show £1 million a day losses, great since when it was sold off they'd made £340 million AND made massive profits ever since.

There's no way that the regulator would ever be able to overlook that if it did ever happen. RM would end up getting multiple MASSIVE fines and taken to court as I believe that they'd be foul of the Postal Services Act

Do you really think the CEO gives a toss well he blatantly miss led parliament select committee and is hell bent on destroying the CWU.
By the way the CWU is your voice to tell this fat corpulent pig to take his snout elsewhere and look at the sun shining from his arse!

Do you really believe this rubbish? There's a lot of people who won't receive any post whatsoever.
