Anyone know when or why CWU turned off the ability to reply on Twitter? All posts since 4th February saying only accounts @cwu mentioned can reply

I'm guessing maybe they didn't like the comments ?

Same on Facebook as well.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Across social media it's one way at the moment. All output, no input wanted.

While there may well be a degree of evasiveness and disingenuous reasoning.

I would also suggest that with the relationship between Royal Mail and its staff going so sour, turning off comments could also be a reasonable attempt to protect members from themselves.

It may be a working environment that we dread walking in to day in day out, but one hot headed comment after yet another crap day and a couple of cans, no matter how honest and truthful, is all it it would take to have the security of an income gone in a flash.

Rumours are unsubstantiated claims. I am aware of these claims, but without credible evidence or the story gaining national attention, it could expose the site owner to potential legal action. Therefore, I kindly ask that no one post anything on this matter.
