Message from Peter Bracey (NN Sub Area Delivery Representative) : Charged with gross misconduct for not treating a colleague with dignity & respect

NEVER cross a picket line under any circumstances, it is not complicated, there are alternatives.

If you choose to ignore the alternatives then accept the consequences.

What are the alternatives for some people who simply CANNOT afford to strike.. an if they ignore the alternatives what consequences should they face.. explain please.

As an ongoing disciplinary case I’m amazed it’s been put on royalmailchat. Maybe best to remove the topic.

And why does he not explain why the way he is being treated.

Putting it on Facebook with an ongoing disciplinary has yet again opened him up to yet another disciplinary charge.

The guy says he's a prisoner in his own mind.
He's going through hell and just wanted to reach out I suspect.

Try & stay strong brother dont let them & a few on here grind you down.
Been in your shoes & its hell but stayed strong & wouldnt buckle to the constant pressure placed on in attempt to break me & got out of other side with my dignity & job still intact.
No matter how dark it gets for you & even if the unthinkable happens & your are dismissed mate try try try to come to terms it's only a job that might be gone but your family & whole life is still there for you to make very most of.
That's worst case scenario covered mate keep fighting & hopefully this will end soon with much better outcome for you.
Dont give up hope & wishing you speedy outcome which you deserve.

baffles me ! i receive a warning from POSTMAN about one of my posts because i swore yet these cretins (redlen and filthybloke) are allowed to spout their obnoxious anti-union shite every day - makes you wonder doesn't it ?

[redlen]

Do not think this is either the time/place or thread to engage in this political crap. This chap is probably going to lose his job and yet you still spout vitriolic point scoring click bait comments

Don't think you will receive a warning for using a swear word. Its prob in the context that you use it an let's face it some have been bad..after all alot of us use swear words.

I didn't warn you, if it was Teebs, it was probably for something more than using a swear word.

@everyone else...

Please remember everyone is welcome on this site. Customers, CWU Officers, Royal Mail Managers, all Royal Mail employees, the General Public, the press, MPs, so please do not resort to abuse if people of a different political persuasion or viewpoint to you, post on a thread.

If someone has a different position to you please respect their right to have differing views, and enjoy yourself when picking holes in their position in a constructive way. We would much rather have a long winded well thought out argument, picking out weak points in someone's position, than have a thread full of 1 line insults.

Please do not in any circumstances resort to name calling or behaviour that could be deemed as bullying or harassment. Specifically, regarding the term 'scab'. It does have an historical meaning in some circles, but it can also be seen as abuse by others. Therefore members are requested to use the more acceptable term of 'Strike Breaker'

Just because someone has a different viewpoint or political position to you, it does not mean that they are a 'Manager' or a 'Union fanatic', any posts making such assumptions or generalisations will be pulled or amended and the poster warned. This also applies to posts that are not aimed at individuals but at groups.

Except for nationally known personalities please do not name any individuals on here, rather use their 'work title' or 'my/a colleague' instead. When posting copies of articles available on the Internet that name individuals please ensure that links are provided to the original article.

If you suspect anyone of trolling do not respond to their posts as this will only encourage them. Most internet trolls post objectionable material or opinions just to get a reaction, if members do not respond then a troll will get bored and leave. If you believe a member is trolling then PM Postman or one of the Moderators.

Try to research information before commenting on a persons position. This can be a grey area and we cannot stifle a persons view on certain things just because we do not agree with it. However, those who hold these views should try to present them in the most constructive way possible.

Do not hijack threads for a flame war and do keep to the original topic, having a lot of off topic posts in the threads is no good to any one. POSTMAN or the Moderators will first post warnings in any thread that does go excessively 'Off Topic' and ultimately may lock it.

[aiden01]

The very rules most ignore not a criticism of the site but just think some of the abuse is getting hot an heavy on certian threads.and most of us here know whats acceptable just a pity a few don't.but rules are rules ive been told off a few times for making silly remarks accept it but people stop abusing each other we all will agree

How about acting like a damn adult and accept that the world doesn't f***ing revolve around you? Some people just don't have a choice but to do it, be it having to look after someone that no longer can, car gets f****d up so having to do repairs, house is messed up due to weather. I can go on and on, and the union in no shape or form is going to cover that. They are friggin asking people to donate to their strike fund for god sake but not dipping into their own accounts. As far as this guy is concerned, I hope he does get a fair case but if he's going round and bullying or name-calling someone who has crossed a picket line then doesn't seem fair of him to inflict misery on someone else but thinks he should be excused because of what's happened to him. We honestly don't know much about it so can't really judge it.

If you cross a picket line you do not deserve respect from the people who are making sacrifices to fight for your rights.
