belle, dundee east had 12, yes, 12 so called manager on nightshift this week lol, sunday during the day too.
I dont quite know why half of edinburgh seems to enjoy coming to work in dundee, just wish other offices would get the mail piling up.

Give it a week or 2 and these gaffers will be out on their feet, and bellies :left:

Oh well, the mailsort and parcels/packets are piling up in Dundee West also. Where do they get all these managers from, surely there's not enough work for them? One manager in DDW has taken on a kind of crazed look of late. :nervous
Lets all just keep doing the job as Royal Mail instruct us to do. :Very Happy

It's quite obvious that RM managers have little else to do than to cover strikes everytime they happen :crazy:

A parcel mountain which is now nearly as high as Ben Nevis.
No-one & I mean no one is taking out the parcels on OT ,its a feckin disgrace & willful delay by the management.

Overtime is on the increase it is now standing at 100 hours a day so tomorrow it will be 600hrs in a week.
Great idea all this to save 220hrs in savings .
See what happens whenever we withdraw our goodwill :Very Happy

Spoke to my dim this morning and he did not have a clue about the flu d2d. When I told him we were warned that it could have been coming since December he looked very confused. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh Try asking what RM plan for swine flu is, are they gonna suspend the attendance proceedure so people don't have to worry about warnings so people don't force themselves to come to work and infect the whole place???????

Just think of all the savings RM are making. Do you think once the dust has settled and RM withdraw EA to lick their wounds it might be a good time to point out that maybe a permanent night shift might be a good idea in some offices :Very Happy

The exact number of yorkies in the backlog stood at 51 on Friday morning. That was a combination of mailsort and packets!
The fun continues at Dundee West with "streamed mail" for houses approaching up to 10 items! The approach from managers is to continue to stream the "downstream acess" and pre-paid 2nd Class.
Put it this way: If the call aint getting a first class or dated item it aint going!
The managers are just shrugging their shoulders and agreeing. :no no
Even doing that I am sruggling to finish on time!
There will have to come a time when it will reach a saturation point, and I will have to take the "streamed" items, but something else will be left instead!
Wev'e also made tonights local paper! :dance

the next step is to contact your local mp, by phoning or email, tell them to make a visit to said office, and watch the s**t hit the fan,if health and safety is your concern, the firemen will only be too willing to come and have a looksee.

Keep the presure up guys.

As I left of saturday we had 26 Yorks filled to the gunells wi parcels ,we still have 3 yorks full of sky mags that should have been delivered
by the end of april God knows how many yorks wi mailsort.

Under everybodies frames there are an avalanche of mailsort spewin out across the floor.
Thank feck I'm off on Tuesday

It would appear materially on the surface of things then, that it is only a matter of time until a slip, trip or fall incident or accident occurs to one of the CWU brothers and sisters on health and safety grounds alone.
