Not sure of the office but it was one in lon,they had a sit in for a couple of days and went back.
There is a lot of s**t going on in lon at the mo and things are going to get worse.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Just made a phone call,details are sketchy but it's something to do with an H&S rep sorting some stuff out which was on going,he had problems with his walk and was then taken off pay.
Lads had a sit in.

With regards to Lon,we're getting the s**t you others have had for a while,threats when we cut off,taken off pay,seems theres a new unaggreed system,first a chat,then a letter then taken off pay.

Mass exec action,duties changed,jobs lost,hours taken out.

Our members support has been amazing. What typrifies it is what happened in Kilburn on saturday. the work was everywhere a quadrant worker tripped up. the local heath and safety rep stepped in and attempted to sort the mess out, mangement then called him into the office and said that in their opinon he was not working fast enough and was being awarded a second stage of this new unagreed performance procdure. The members went to the canteen in support management then took them off of pay.

On Monday when the staff turned up for work they were informed that unless they indivually signed an alteration to their contract of employment inclduing what Royal Mail call sanctions then they would not be allowed back to work, mangement would not budge their postion all day monday. On tuesday we met with the members and we called Royal Mail"s bluff and they walked back in , Royal Mail bottled it and put them back on pay. We gave the Kilburn members the opportunity to stand down todays strike as they had already been out two days this week and they voted to contiue to stirke today.
