Deliberately failing duties

Post by Broxi51 »

Spoke to a COM this morning and he told me that they had failed over 30 duties yesterday and they got praise from Senior management. We had a full complement of staff for the first time in ages and our manager was told to fail a duty. Is this happening all over? Does the Union know? Ofcom?
I assume it is to get the Government to change the USO.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Manipulation or sabotage not sure what Ofcom can do to make sure deliveries are not failing.

The business wants deliveries to fail so as they can go to Ofcom and try and reduce the service. Won't be long before mail is being delivered 3 days a week.

Union knows the score but not sure what they are doing/ able to do. Duties are failing at ours due to lack of staff. Duties put back in to pave the way for uso changes but that hasn’t come in yet so now failure gets rotated.

Employing staff and paying overtime costs the company money.

Failing duties does not.

Simple.
