Could have been recorded 4 years ago and we wouldn’t have noticed a difference. Same issues, same talking points, same dodgy Dave blabbering into a laptop. None of its going to change. It’s actually really boring at this point.

Exactly what I thought and you can bet the mp's don't have the power to do anything just like last time.

Our local DO's are panicking about something, as every office is now having a sweep every day to ensure there's no 1c or NHS letters left in the frames and if there is posties are getting pulled up and told to ensure it's delivered in the future. If there's was nothing the Government could do I assume they wouldn't be panicking?

So is our office. But we’ve been told to take them for a drive. Don’t care if they’re delivered or not, just want them out of the office.

So we can't look at history and have an opinion on our job and future,I was once right behind the union like yourself and others but they have actually conceded that much and the government couldn't care less about the service just being positive like yourself doesn't really do it im afraid.

There wouldn't be any need for bashing if the COMMUNICATION workers union actually communicated with their members.

I haven't seen the interview but I'm guessing
"Record profits in covid given to shareholders"
"Attack on members t&C's, gig economy"
"Parcels prioritised over post, we have a plan for managing the letter decline"
