The latest courier

Post by Pat Ostman »

To good to be true, of course the rag mentions how strikes will kill the company. They even had a letter from an ex postie telling us all how mad the CWU and the striking posties are.

Really, is it that hard to publish both sides of the argument? Hell, the rag could even gain some respect from us for it. In the wheelie bin goes then, not the recycle one mind. The council gets mad if you throw s**t in those bins....

To be honest, I have suffered it but not bothered telling that magazine. It's like a pencil without lead - pointless.

That's what I was getting at - they can't publish what people don't send in. Obviously they're biased and toe the party line, but an avalanche of letters decribing what is happening in some offices should at least get some attention.

yeah sent mine back to sender "refused", as I did last month, asked to be removed from mailing list...

If they keep sending them to me after I've asked 3 or 4 times to stop can I put in a complaint? Unsolicited propoganda....?

They so desperate to make savings at RM ceasing publication of this rag would save a few quid?

I'm not sure if you can put in a complaint. I've also asked that they cease sending this item of unsolicited mail to my address, but they carry on, and I just continue to send it back. I remember when it used to arrive in a big bundle, which someone would cut open and leave by the signing on desk. No one bothered with it, which is why I suppose they started imposing it on us as a direct mail shot.
