Deliberately failing duties

[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.

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.

Been happening over a year now welcome to the club

All part of the plan

Employing staff and paying overtime costs the company money.

Failing duties does not.

Simple.

They are paying Daniel's debts down.

We often have one postie covering 2 walks especially on a Saturday. They generally just do tracked and first class which I think is fine for the new every other day model. It's not fair though as those walks then are behind so they have double mail the next day.
