My Office has started doing the Job properly

Post by NWpostie »

As the title says, we have started doing the Job properly Officewide, mind I have always done that anyway from day one, it has caused chaos in the Office, Area Manager is making all sorts of threats, i.e. if everybody stops using their Cars today, then they never be allowed to use their Cars from that day on and all parking facilities will be withdrawn, we have also been warned that anyone caught using Cars will be sacked or conducted, this has only stiffened everyones back, this has only backfired on them, unsurprisingly, some staff have phoned in sick so they don't have to face the hassle, :evil/mad 5 walks are uncovered, with lots of culls or extending, as today was heavy, I decided to extend, we need to keep this ongoing, no one breaks rank, it has to be consistent, the consequences of failure is the management licence to do as they please, its time for chickens to come home to roost, we are all fed up of being hammered and intimidated day in day out.

Roll on the strike !!! :nana

I can't wait for the Ballot paper to come through.

Respect bro to you and your CWU workplace colleagues. But as a reminder taken from the Private Cars on Delivery Frequently asked Questions:

Q24. If I sign up to use my car, but decide on some occasions not to use it, wil I be instructed to use it or have disciplinary action taken against me?

Answer: No. You have volunteered to use your car and not doing so incurs no sanction. However, if you are unreliable and give no notice of when you will or won't. or say you will and then don't, Royal Mail will prevent you from using your car and require you to use official acceleration instead by withdrawing its insurance from you.
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

As I newbie, I have always thought this kimd of action would do more damage than all out one day stoppages, bringing back mail, working to hours etc is bound to be more effective, plus we wold maintain public support because they would still get their mail most days

Let them know that if they sack you for not using your car ask how he feels about an ET,only they are not fairing to well in that side at the moment,we had a jack Ar** manager tell us there is not alot of mail about today so i asked how he felt about the 58 yorks that appear to be standing all round the office or had he got his rose tinted glasses on,he went of to the office we haven't seen him since :roll:

Extending costs them money, cutting off costs them money as well as they usually have to pay ot to get it delivered or even worse, deliver it themselves, which is nice.

this is the way to hurt them,do the job properly and you have a wage to pick up at the end of the week,it works better than strikes.
rm saves all them wages on strike days.we have asked the union to do this is instead of strike straight away but they say this will not work .why not try it.

Today we had a meeting, regarding our doing the job properly, Area has considered what we are doing is "Unoffical Industrial Action" :roll: not surprisingly the Rep went ballistic over that and they were soon corrected.

the Manager also agreed with the Rep, there is nothing to indicate that what we are doing is Industrial action, after all we are following RM's OWN rules on delivery methods, we have continued doing the Job properly, Area is not happy, Budget is getting blown out of the water along with Bonuses, got the rest of the week to go through and next week, I would like to see this ongoing, it needs to be, theres been some Culls and some extendeds.

your office should count itself lucky as all pressure overtime has been banned in our area .
if people do not complete they are questioned by managers when they return and given letters advising them if they do it again they will be taken off pay.
still good to see that royal mail dont bully delivery people

Pressure overtime cannot be banned, the alternative is to Cull, if there is a genuine difficulty with your delivery that you cannot complete, you can request that the walk be tested asap, remember what RM said, you will work all hours paid AND no one will be expected to work beyond their hours

we are doing this as a WHOLE Office they cannot be everywhere at once, when its one or two they find it easy to pick on and intimidate, but not a whole Office, the power of one amplified by many, we are the Union

what you will find is that in our area they are using the indoor workload tool and saying that we do not have enough mail and are not working hard enough and that we should all be finished in time and that is why we are being threatened with suspension of pay for cutting off
