the sooner we go onto it as well the better. these plebs are winding me up. i keep telling em if they dont stop coming in and using their cars the job wont be here next year. every day we have the same blokes coming in 45 mins to 30 mins early. all drivers all finishing early as well. they`re bloody mad.

This forum is spot on, never heard of this "on the vans " down this ere way. We got to spread the word and put pressure on these idiots who come in early & take their cars.
we got em, mainly town walks (although more rurals are doing now) comin in 40, 50 minutes early to throw off.

Keep up the good work!!

ooo aarrgh me 'ansome!!

I think the union should pressure the business into stopping the use of cars on delivery by going down the enviromental route.
How much of a reduction would it be on the "carbon footprint" if one van took out 6 posties rather than 1 van and 5 cars???????

News flash - Royal Mail so worried about "Royal Mail Chat"s successful campaign they are now purchasing individual vehicles for all delivery postman. See picture below:

I don't know if this has been suggested elsewhere on this site but here goes.
If there are people in your office using cars on delivery without the proper insurance, you or your CWU rep make a list of their names. With a witness hand this list to your line manager/DOM and tell them they have a 'duty of care' to check the persons documents or prevent them from using their car. If they don't do this and the car user has an accident or the car is stolen with mail inside, then the manager himself/herself will be liable, because they have been made aware of the situation.
Sorry if these moves have already been mentioned.

DON'T USE YOUR CAR. USE YOUR HEAD. PROTECT YOUR JOB.
