For it to be valid for next Thursday don't the union have to give RM notice today? No official word yet...

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

I think this will be more effective, what are deliveries going to do on Friday as the mail will not be processed :nana

Be a bit of a nightmare for delivery on Monday though :cuppa jobs a good one :dance

They'll get some work to us somehow, it will certainly be more effective than this week's poorly planned strikes though.
