Asked to move duty?

Post by FirstPost »

I’ve worked in two offices, one office you get asked to move and politely agree, another office you get asked to move then reply with “f**k off im not moving” to the manager and they scuttle off and ask someone else :cuppa :cuppa

Being asked to move duties is a reasonable request. The CWU has just signed up to 'change for good' and it is specific in its goal to end the culture you have quoted. No one deserves to be sworn at.

Said office is ‘militant’ and basically tell management what to do

At some point they'll get a manager who won't put up with that and plenty of them will get conduct coded.

I genuinely doubt it. There is no militancy amongst postal workers as the CWU have done everything they can to end militancy amongst us. Telling someone to f**k off isn't militancy. Its rude. Everyone on the gate when one workers is told to move is militancy. I'll bet you for each worker that is enabled to tell another worker to f**k off theres a majority who wouldn't be enabled.
